Kyrgios’ assault charge dismissed despite guilty plea

SYDNEY: A common assault charge against Nick Kyrgios was dismissed in a Canberra court today, despite the tennis player earlier pleading guilty.

The charge related to a 2021 incident involving his former girlfriend Chiara Passari.

Magistrate Beth Campbell had dismissed the case due to the minor nature of the incident and that Kyrgios was at a low risk of re-offending, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.

“Just recovery, get back on court,” said Kyrgios outside court when asked by a reporter about his immediate plans.
