Kyrgios apologises to Wimbledon fan

Nick Kyrgios has apologised to a fan he accused of being “drunk out of her mind” during his loss in this year’s Wimbledon final. The outspoken tennis star complained to the umpire during his match against Novak Djokovic in July, saying that the fan had been talking to him during points. He said Anna Palus “looks like she’s had about 700 drinks” and was sued for defamation in response. Asked by the umpire to identify the fan, Kyrgios said: “The one with the dress, the one who looks like she’s had about 700 drinks, bro!”
The Australian’s surprise run to the final at Wimbledon this year was littered with controversy, including run-ins with umpires, line judges, opponents, the media and fans.
