The 2022 Wimbledon runner-up pleaded guilty in the Australian Capital Territory Magistrates Court to assaulting Chiara Passari during an argument in his hometown of Canberra in January 2021.
Magistrate Jane Campbell did not record an 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 바카라stupidity바카라 and 바카라frustration.바카라
Kyrgios바카라 psychologist, Sam Borenstein, said in a written report and testimony by phone that Kyrgios had suffered major depressive episodes in the past and had used alcohol and drugs to cope. Kyrgios바카라mental health led to impulsive and reckless behavior.
His knee injury this month had resulted in mild to moderate symptoms of depression, but his mental health was improving, Borenstein said.
바카라He바카라s doing very well,바카라 Borenstein said. 바카라His mental health has improved significantly.
Lawyers for Kyrgios had sought to have an assault charge stemming from events two years ago dismissed on mental health grounds but the application was unsuccessful.
In February last year, Kyrgios opened up about his performance at the 2019 Australian Open, saying what appeared to be a positive time in his life had been 바카라one of my darkest periods.바카라
바카라I was lonely, depressed, negative, abusing alcohol, drugs, pushed away family and friends,바카라 he wrote on Instagram. 바카라I felt as if I couldn바카라t talk or trust anyone. 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.바카라
Kyrgios made further references to his mental health struggles during his runs to the final at Wimbledon and the quarterfinals at the U.S. Open.
After ending Daniil Medvedev바카라s U.S. Open title defense in September last year to reach the quarterfinals, Kyrgios expressed pride at lifting himself out of 바카라some really tough situations, mentally바카라 and 바카라some really scary places바카라 off the court.
Kyrgios had a career setback last month when he withdrew from the Australian Open because of an injured left knee that required arthroscopic surgery.
