SYDNEY (Reuters) -A common assult charge against tennis player Nick Kyrgios was dismissed in a Canberra court on Friday, despite earlier lodging a guilty plea, broadcasters ABC News and Sky said.
The charge related to a 2021 incident involving his former girlfriend Chiara Passari.
The legal team for the Australian was granted an adjournment at a prior court hearing last October to allow time to prepare forensic mental health reports on their client.
