August 16, 2013 | By Long Island Tennis Magazine Staff
A court date of Dec. 17 has been set in South Florida for former tennis star Jennifer Capriati in a stalking and battery case involving her ex-boyfriend. Capriati is accused of punching ex-boyfriend Ivan Brannan while he worked out at a gym on Valentine’s Day. Authorities also say Capriati stalked Brannan for months earlier. Capriati’s attorney has called the accusations false. The charges against Capriati are misdemeanors.
Capriati is a member of the International Tennis Hall of Fame (ITF) who began her professional career at the age of 13. She won a Gold Medal for the United States at the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, and later won the French and Australian Opens.
