No racism against Kyrgios: Tsitsipas says comments 'misinterpreted'

Hindustan Times  

Stefanos Tsitsipas has said comments he made about Nick Kyrgios at last year's Wimbledon have been "misinterpreted", after his remarks were featured on Netflix documentary "Break Point" and perceived as racist on social media. Tsitsipas, 24, was knocked out by Kyrgios in a bad-tempered third-round clash at the grasscourt Grand Slam and described the Australian's approach to tennis as "uneducated", saying he brought "that NBA basketball attitude" to the sport. The feud continued off-court, with Tsitsipas labelling Kyrgios a "bully" with "an evil side" in a post-match media conference. Kyrgios laughed off Tsitsipas's remarks and said the Greek had "serious issues".
