Kyrgios pleads guilty to assaulting ex-girlfriend

Tennis player Nick Kyrgios pleaded guilty to common assault in a Canberra court on Friday over a 2021 incident involving his former girlfriend Chiara Passari, ABC News said.

Tennis star Nick Kyrgios on Friday pleaded guilty in an Australian court to assaulting his then-girlfriend by pushing her to the ground in January 2021.

Kyrgios shoved Chiara Passari with his open hands after a heated argument outside her apartment in Canberra, according to an agreed statement of facts tendered to the court.

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.
