Tennys Sandgren

Controversial American tennis player Tennys Sandgren has apologised over a tweet about a visit to a gay club which he said left, "his eyes bleeding." Sandgren, 26, a devout Christian, came under scrutiny this week during his run to the Australian Open quarter-finals over his apparent support on Twitter for far-right groups in the United States. It led to him wiping his social media account while lashing out at the "dehumanizing" media in a sermon-like statement at his post-match press conference after losing to Chung Hyeon.
