Nick Kyrgios settles legal case with Wimbledon fan he accused of having "700 drinks"

Nick Kyrgios has settled a legal case with a tennis fan he accused of being "drunk and out of her mind" during the Wimbledon final earlier this year.

Kyrgios took on Novak Djokovic in his first ever Grand Slam final back in July and, unsurprisingly, it was a controversial one. The Australian was defeated by Djokovic 4–6, 6–3, 6–4, 7–6, but midway through accused a spectator of distracting him whilst serving.

He was heard shouting at the umpire: "She’s distracting me when I’m serving in Wimbledon final. There’s no other bigger occasion. You didn’t believe me and then she’s did it again, it nearly cost me the game. Why’s she still here? She’s drunk out of her mind… speaking to me in the middle of the game, what’s acceptable?”
