Nick Kyrgios seeks to dismiss assault charge on mental health ... (Sky News)

His lawyer, Michael Kukulies-Smith, appeared in court in Canberra, Australia to request an adjournment so a forensic mental health report could be prepared.

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."

Kyrgios has made other references to his mental health describing how he struggled during his runs to the final at Wimbledon and the US Open quarter-final. The law gives magistrates the power to dismiss a charge if they are satisfied the accused is mentally impaired, and dealing with the allegation in this manner would benefit the community and the defendant. Tennis star Nick Kyrgios will apply to have an assault charge dismissed on mental health grounds, a court has heard. The Wimbledon finalist stands accused of common assault in his hometown of Canberra, Australia.
