Nick Kyrgios APOLOGIZES to Polish female lawyer he accused of 'having 700 drinks and distracting' him at Men's Wimbledon Final: Tennis ace admits he was 'mistaken' and gives $20,000 to charity to 'resolve' lawsuit

Nick Kyrgios has apologised to the Polish lawyer he accused of 'distracting him by being drunk' at the Wimbledon Men's Final. Ania Palus, 32, was temporarily ejected from the Wimbledon Grand Slam final in July after the tennis ace said that she'd had '700 drinks'. The Australian, 27, has now admitted that he was 'mistaken' over his Centre Court claim. He has donated £20,000 to Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity to 'resolve' the defamation lawsuit. In a statement released by Knight Temple Law, Mr Kyrgios stated: 'On 10 July 2022, during the Wimbledon Men's Final, I told the umpire that a fan, who I now know to be Anna Palus, was distracting me during the match, believing that she was drunk. I accept that belief was mistaken, and I apologise. To make amends, I have donated £20,000 to the Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity, a charity chosen by Ms Palus. I will not be commenting on this matter again.'
