Nick Kyrgios had a woman thrown out of Wimbledon, accusing her of having 'about 700 drinks'

• Nick Kyrgios had a fan ejected from Sunday's Wimbledon final.
• Kyrgios had accused the woman of having "700 drinks" and distracting him.

Nick Kyrgios had a fan ejected from the Wimbledon men's singles final on Sunday, accusing her of having had "about 700 drinks."

The match was Kyrgios' first Grand Slam final. He was unable to clinch the title, losing in four sets to Novak Djokovic, whose victory sealed a 21st major trophy.

As the game was slipping away from him in the third yet, a frustrated Kyrgios urged the chair umpire to eject a fan who he said was distracting him.

"She's drunk out of her mind in the first row," Kyrgios told the official.

Asked by the umpire to point out the spectator in question, the 27-year-old said: "The one who looks like she's had about 700 drinks, bro, talking to me during every single point!"

The woman was then temporarily ejected from Centre Court, but was allowed to return 15 minutes later.

The ejected spectator has since come forward as Ania Palus, a 32-year-old Polish medical lawyer.

Palus told The Sun that she said had actually had only two drinks – one Pimm's and one glass of wine – and that she was only trying to cheer Kyrgios on.

"He always says the crowd is against him and I wanted to show we were for him, I wanted to encourage him," she said, adding that the high temperature had contributed to her behavior.

Temperatures on Centre Court soared to 30°C (86°F) during the match.

"Maybe I took it too far, but I only had good intentions," she said. "I'm really sorry."
