Nick Kyrgiosโ legal troubles have just doubled as Anna Palus โ who you may know best as the tennis fan ejected from Wimbledon after being accused of sinking โ700 drinksโ โ sues the Aussie superstar for defamation.
Anna Palus, who herself is a lawyer, was escorted from the stands of centre court for allegedly chatting up Nick Kyrgios during his face-off against Novak Djokovic during the Wimbledon menโs finals; wherein the latter would eventually prevail.
In an outburst that has since been immortalised within the pantheon of classic tennis sprays, Kyrgios told an umpire Palus was โdrunk out of her mindโ and a major distraction.

โWeโre in a Wimbledon final. Itโs nearly cost me the gameโฆ I know exactly which one it is. Itโs the one whoโs had like 700 drinks.โ

Anna Palus is now claiming she has been defamed by this โreckless and entirely baseless allegation.โ
โNot only did this cause considerable harm on the day, resulting in my temporary removal from the arena, but Mr Kyrgiosโ false allegation was broadcast to, and read by, millions around the world, causing me and my family very substantial damage and distress,โ she said via statement.

According to The Independent, Palus has now instructed her solicitors Brett Wilson LLP to begin legal proceedings against Krygios if the bloke doesnโt offer โa prompt resolution to this matter.โ Additionally, sheโs pledged whatever damages she wins towards charity.
โHe always says the crowd is against him, and I wanted to show we were for him, I wanted to encourage him,โ Palus previously revealed to The Sun.
โMaybe I took it too farโฆ but I only had good intentions. I only had one Pimmโs and one rosรฉ. Itโs the temperature for me, I had no hat. Iโm really sorry.โ
Can we expect an apology from Nicky K? Who knows. But one thingโs for sure โ he certainly doesnโt want to be spending all this time in the wrong kind of court during his career-best season.
