CRI听力:Wawrinka Overcomes Coric at Cincinnati Open

2015-08-20来源:CRI

French Open champion Stan Wawrinka has reached the third round of the Cincinnati Open after coming from behind to beat Croatian teenager Borna Coric in a three sets affair.

Speaking to reporters afterward, Wawrinka says admits he's still a bit flustered about what Australian Nick Kyrgios said last week to him at the Rogers Cup in Canada, saying he feels the Aussie upstart hasn't properly apologised.

"Honestly, I've had a lot of support...a lot of anger in the locker room for what he did. As I say, I think as a player you realise more what he did and what the consequence for a private life, for a person involve in that case. That's not just a few words but with one sentence he can touch a lot, and hurt a lot of people and I had a lot of support from the locker room, that's for sure."

Kyrgios made worldwide headlines last week after crude remarks concerning Wawrinka's reported girlfriend, teenager Donna Vekic, during a match against the Swiss ace in Montreal.

Kyrgios, who was fined 10-thousand US dollars by the ATP for his courtside comments, later issued a statement apologising for his remarks, insisting they were made "in the heat of the moment."

However Wawrinka said Kyrgios's apology doesn't go far enough.

French 12th seed Richard Gasquet has defeated a qualifier Thanasi Kokkinakis 7-6, 6-2 to advance to Round 3.

He will next play US Open champion Marin Cilic.
