The confrontation between Kyrgios and Palus took place during the third set of the match for the title on the central field of All of England, on July 10.

His false accusation. it has been published and read by millions of people around the world, causing me and my family a lot of damage and a lot of distress, “the lawyer said Tuesday.

I hope Kyrgios thinks about the damage he has caused to me and my family and offers a quick solution to this matter,” he said.
