THE supposedly drunk women Nick Kyrgios had kicked out Centre Court during the men's Wimbledon final is taking legal action against the player.
Ania Palus, 32, was removed for a short period of time during the Grand Slam final after the Aussie star's outburst on court in which he claimed she was putting him off.
Kyrgios infamously claimed she must've had "700 drinks" during an exchange with the umpire during the third set versus Novak Djokovic and he wanted her removed from the grounds.
The Polish medical lawyer denies she was drunk stating she only had two drinks and was supporting tennis' bad boy not distracting him.
In a statement Palus made it clear she is bringing a defamation case against Kyrgios to clear her name.
It read: "I attended the final of the Wimbledon tennis championships with my mother. It was an event we had been looking forward to for some time.

"Why is she still here? She's drunk out of her mind and speaking to me in the middle of a game. What's acceptable?"
Umpire Renaud Lichtenstein replied: "Nothing is acceptable."
Kyrgios responded: "Okay kick her out. I know exactly which one it is. The one in the dress, who looks like she's had about 700 drinks, bro."
The outspoken star continued after the match saying: "I don't need someone absolutely smashed talking to me point in, point out."
Palus spoke to The Sun on the incident saying: "I wanted to show we were for him, I wanted to encourage him.
"I wanted to give him support. Maybe I took it too far… but I only had good intentions.
She denied she was "drunk out her mind" as Kyrgios claimed and that the hot temperature influenced her behaviour especially as she had no hat.
