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 and donated £20,000 (US$22,750) to a charity of her choice following a legal case.
Many jackpots สล็อต คือ leave us for free and unlimited throughout the day. Free credits from a variety of channels to create greater value for money than ever before. Fun, fun, real money.
Kyrgios, well known for his outbursts, complained to the umpire during his match against Novak Djokovic in July, saying that the fan had been talking to him during points.
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!"
Anna Palus said that the 27-year-old Australian had defamed her by making "a reckless and entirely baseless allegation" and began legal action in August, adding any damages she wins would be donated to charity.
Kyrgios apologised in a statement released to British media by Knight Temple Law, which represented Palus.
"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," Kyrgios said in the statement.
"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."
