Controversial tennis star Nick Kyrgios has apologised after making on-court remarks about his opponent's girlfriend.

He has been fined by governing body, the ATP, after aiming comments towards Stan Wawrinka during a match at the Montreal Masters.

The Australian says he was speaking "in the heat of the moment", and his words were "unacceptable on many levels".

Microphones picked up Kygrios, who courted controversy at Wimbledon, telling two-time Grand Slam champion Wawrinka: "Kokkinakis banged your girlfriend, sorry to tell you that mate".

Thanasi Kokkinakis (19) is a fellow Australian tennis player, while Wawrinka's girlfriend is Croatian player Donna Vekic.
