Capriati has denied the allegations in a statement released by her publicist.
Natalie Mikolich said: “The current facts being circulated by Mr Brannan are an over-exaggeration and the police report is one-sided in Mr Brannan’s favour since they failed to get Ms Capriati’s side of the story”.
Capriati won three grand slam titles and a gold medal at the Barcelona Olympics in 1992.
