AMERICAN Tennys Sandgren has apologised for writing on Twitter that a visit to a gay club had left his eyes bleeding.
The 26-year-old reached the quarter-finals of the Australian Open before losing to Hyeon Chung, and was left to face questions over claims he was a supporter of the controversial alt-right movement.
Sandgren accused the media of demonising him in a pre-prepared monologue following his 6-4 7-6 (7-5) 6-3 defeat to Chung at Melbourne Park on Wednesday, refusing to answer any more questions about his political beliefs. However, following criticism from the likes of Serena Williams, who took to Twitter to say there is a entire group of people that deserves an apology, Sandgren used his social media account to look to draw a line under the controversy.
In regards to the gay club tweet from 2012, I used poor and harsh words to describe a bad experience, and is not indicative of how I feel about the people in that community. To everyone I offended with that, pls accept my apology, Sandgren wrote on Thursday.
