Tennis star Nick Kyrgios will apply to have an assault charge dismissed on mental health grounds, his lawyer told an Australian court on Tuesday.

The common assault charge, which has a potential maximum sentence of two years in prison, relates to an incident involving Kyrigos' former girlfriend in January 2021, which was reported to local police last December.

Kyrgios spoke about his performance at the 2019 Australian Open in February this year, saying what appeared to be a positive time in his life had been “one of my darkest periods". “I felt as if I couldn’t talk or trust anyone. This was a result of not opening up and refusing to lean on my loved ones and simply just push myself little by little to be positive.”

After knocking Daniil Medvedev’s out of the US Open in September to reach the quarterfinals, Kyrgios revealed his pride at lifting himself out of “some really tough situations, mentally” and “some really scary places” outside of tennis.
