Kyrgios on ATP corruption comments: 'It was not the correct choice of words'

Kyrgios said on Twitter that he believes it wasn't the right choice of words; that he was addressing double standards as opposed to corruption.

He also added that he believes he is not getting consistency and fairness; across the board in terms of umpiring which is his main problem.

'I would like to go on record to clarify my comment around the ATP being corrupt, it was not the correct choice of words and my point and intention was to address what I see as double standards rather than corruption.'

'I know my behaviour at times has been controversial and that has landed me in trouble, which at times is granted and valid but my issue is around others whether gaining the same, less or more media attention doing the same or similar behaviour and not being sanctioned.'

He added: 'That is my problem and it continues to be. To be clear I know I'm not perfect and do not pretend to be and I acknowledge that I deserved fines and sanctioning at times but I expect consistency and fairness with this across the board, to date that's not happened.'
