‘Drunk’ Wimbledon spectator apologizes: ‘I only had two drinks’

It was a special moment during the Wimbledon final, this tournament so calm, so chic. As Kyrgios and Djokovic fought over the third set, a spectator regularly disturbed the Australian player. Unable to concentrate fully, the tennis player asked that she be removed from the field. “Get her out! I know exactly who it is. It’s that woman, the one who looks like she’s emptied 700 glasses,” he said, pointing at her.

Our colleagues from HLN.be confirm that the spectator concerned was finally indeed invited to leave her seat to go and cool off. She should have stayed 15 minutes away from the field and would have received a bottle of water. According to the tabloid The Sun, it is a 32-year-old Polish lawyer. She told the British media that she only wanted to encourage the Australian player, but that she had “Maybe overstepped.” “I only had two drinks but the heat made it worse. I’m so sorry.”
