"I wanted to encourage him" - fan who Kyrgios got removed

In the 2022 Wimbledon Championships final, Nick Kyrgios was not happy about one of the spectators and asked the umpire to eject them from the stadium.

During what was one of the most crucial moments of the 2022 Wimbledon final, Nick Kyrgios was understandably perturbed by a member of the crowd.

Appearing to be intoxicated, a woman in the stands was seen (and heard) to be shouting something towards the Australian.

Kyrgios did not take kindly to the interference at such a crucial moment in his first singles Grand Slam final and famously accused her of having "700 drinks".

After the Australian insisted she was removed from the stadium, she was taken out of the stands before returning shortly after. However, after 15 minutes and a little water break, she was able to return to watch the match.

However, now that the dust has settled on the SW19 final, the woman in question, 32-year-old Ania Palus, shared her point of view on what happened on Centre Court that day.

Speaking to The Sun, the woman in question explained how she was supposedly cheering for Kyrgios despite how the Australian interpreted it, explaining that she had only good intentions, even though it might have looked differently.
