Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios has admitted assaulting assaulting a former girlfriend.

The 27-year-old’s guilty plea in a Canberra court came after his lawyers failed to have the charge dismissed on mental health grounds.

They are now seeking to persuade the magistrate to not record a conviction.

The court heard Mr Kyrgios pushed Chiara Passari onto the pavement after she stopped his car from driving away during a row in Canberra in January 2021.

Ms Passari reported the incident to police the next month but did not make a formal complaint.

The court heard that the couple were reconciled and resumed a relationship but that after they broke up, she made a formal complaint in December 2021.
