NICK Kyrgios has admitted he pushed his ex onto the pavement during a row but has avoided conviction.
The Australian tennis star pleaded guilty to assaulting his former girlfriend Chiari Passari in his hometown of Canberra in January 2021.
Nick Kyrgios has avoided conviction
But Magistrate Jane Campbell didn’t record a conviction against Kyrgios for reasons including that the offense was at the low end of seriousness for a common assault, and was not premeditated.
Campbell described it as an act of stupidity and frustration.
Kyrgios, who was using crutches following recent surgery on his left knee, didn’t speak to reporters as he left court but issued a statement through a management company.
“I respect todays ruling and am grateful to the court for dismissing the charges without conviction,” Kyrgios said.
“I was not in a good place when this took place and I reacted to a difficult situation in a way I deeply regret. I know it wasnt OK and Im sincerely sorry for the hurt I caused.”
