Nick Kyrgios’ Response:
Kyrgios explained his actions before joining the BBC commentary team for Wimbledon.

The incident went viral due to Kyrgios’ own history, which includes a domestic violence trial where he pleaded guilty but avoided conviction. Fans might think it’s good he’s trying to make things right.
“What I did was wrong; I think I’ve been very clear about that,” Kyrgios said. “I reacted to a difficult situation in a way that I deeply regret. I have apologized, and I really meant it when I said nothing like it will ever happen again. For now, I’m just so happy to be here at Wimbledon and doing my best to share some insights into the tournament for everyone watching on the BBC.”
