Nick Kyrgios is due to appear in court for the first time since he was charged by police by summons in July last year in the early hours of Friday morning.
Lawyers for the 27-year-old are expected to apply to have the charge dismissed under a section of the local crimes law.
The section in which they are applying to have it dismissed is if they are satisfied an accused person is mentally impaired, and if dealing with an allegation in such a way would benefit the community and the defendant.
Magistrate Glenn Theakston questioned whether he would need to attend but his lawyer said he wanted to. The initial charge reportedly relates to an incident involving his former girlfriend, Chiara Passari.

- I heartily disagree with Stubbs here. I mean c'mon! The whole idea of giving out wildcards is to give new & up-coming players a chance at getting as much circuit match-practice under their belts as possible. And this is a HUGE must and opportunity for these new kids on the block. Why curtail opportunities for these newbies in favour of stalwart monopoly?? That just isn't fair. At least give these lesser known players a chance to become more familiar at playing in bigger tournaments & give them also a chance of getting the crowds behind these underdogs.
