Nick Kyrgios: Australian tennis player settles legal case with Wimbledon fan he accused of being drunk

Nick Kyrgios has settled a legal case with a spectator he accused of being "drunk out of her mind" during the Wimbledon final.

Anna Palus instructed solicitors to bring defamation proceedings against the 27-year-old Australian.

The world number 22 was competing in his first Grand Slam final, which he lost in four sets to Novak Djokovic.

Kyrgios complained to the umpire about a fan, saying she looked "like she has had about 700 drinks".

Palus, who attended the final with her mother, later accused the 2022 Australian Open doubles champion of a "reckless and entirely baseless allegation".
