Stefanos Tsitsipas stated that comments he made on Nick Kyrgios during their 2022 Wimbledon clash have been misinterpreted as racist on social media.<\/p>\n
Back then the Greek said that Kyrgios is uneducated and brings “NBA attitude to the sport”.<\/p>\n
This was remarked in the new series of Netflix’s Break Point.<\/p>\n
“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.<\/p>\n
“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.”<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
