The charge related to a 2021 incident involving
his former girlfriend Chiara Passari.
Magistrate Beth Campbell had dismissed the case due to the minor
nature of the incident and that Kyrgios was at a low risk of
re-offending, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.
"Just recovery, get back on court," said Kyrgios outside court
when asked by a reporter about his immediate plans.
The world number 20, who underwent knee surgery after
withdrawing from the Australian Open last month, said on social
media he was "grateful" for the decision.
"I respect today's ruling and I'm grateful to the court for
dismissing the charges without conviction," he said in an
Instagram post.
"I was not in a good place when this happened and I reacted to a
difficult situation in a way I deeply regret."
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.
