Nick Kyrgios’ complaining about a woman who allegedly looked she had about “700 drinks” went viral on Sunday, but the spectator said after the match she was not drinking heavily at all.
Ania Palus was identified as the woman who was removed from the sideline for a bit. She told The Sun she only had about two drinks and was trying to root for the Australian superstar.

“He always says the crowd is against him and I wanted to show we were for him, I wanted to encourage him,” Palus told the paper. “I only had one Pimm’s and one rosé. It’s the temperature for me, I had no hat. I’m really sorry.”
Palus was given a bottle of water and was allowed to return.
Kyrgios was getting annoyed with fans in the crowd allegedly talking during the action in the third set.
