“They always cough Sti Caz ​​.. of Chinese”. The phrase of Musetti against the spectators of Beijing: then the apologies

First the outburst against the spectators of Beijing who toxic too much, then the apologies to the Chinese people. Lorenzo Musetti yesterday in the challenge to Pericard had a moment of tension, and the social networks did not forgive him: the video of the Italian tennis player who cursed (“always toxic, ‘Sti Caz ​​… of Chinese …”) was relaunched on X, even with some accusation of racism. The fact is that today Musetti wanted to apologize from his Instagram profile. «I would like to apologize sincerely for what I said yesterday, in the grip of frustration, during my game – is the debut of the blue – my words were addressed only to a few people among the public who rehearsed repeatedly and disturbed the game. They were in no way addressed to the Chinese people. It happened in a moment of stress and tension at the second tie-break, but this is not an excuse. I realize that the way I expressed myself was wrong and inappropriate, and wounded the feelings of many Chinese fans. I regret it deeply and try deep remorse ». «I have always admired the Chinese people – concluded Musetti – and I really appreciate to play in your country. I go back to China since 2018 and I always feel very welcome. I am grateful for the incredible support that I constantly receive and for the many fans I have in China. Once again, I’m very sorry. I respect you deeply, I feel at home here and I appreciate the warmth and kindness that I have always received from you. With respect and gratitude ».
