‘Comments on Kyrgios misinterpreted as racist’ says Tsitsipas

Stefanos Tsitsipas stated that comments he made on Nick Kyrgios during their 2022 Wimbledon clash have been misinterpreted as racist on social media.

Back then the Greek said that Kyrgios is uneducated and brings “NBA attitude to the sport”.

This was remarked in the new series of Netflix’s Break Point.

“It has come to my attention that some individuals have misinterpreted my comments regarding Nick Kyrgios… insinuating racism where none exists,” Tsitsipas wrote on Facebook.

“I want to emphasise that I harbour no prejudice towards anyone based on their background, ethnicity, or interests. I deeply regret if my words were misinterpreted or caused offence, as that was never my intention.”

The 24-year-old said he deeply regrets any harm his words might have caused and he would be more mindful of what he says in the future.
