04 / 10 / 2022

Tennis star, Nick Kyrgios, will seek to have his assault charge dismissed on mental health grounds, The Guardian has reported.

Kyrgios’ lawyer, Michael Kukulies-Smith, appeared in the Australian Capital Territory magistrates court on Tuesday and asked for an adjournment so forensic mental health reports could be prepared.

Mr Kukulies-Smith said his client’s mental health issues were well known and the court granted the request.

According to ABC News, the matter is expected to return to court on February 3.

Kyrgios is facing a single charge of common assault, related to an alleged incident in January 2021 that was reported to ACT police in December.
