In a recent interview with Vogue magazine, young British up and coming tennis star, Laura Robson said that "some of the tennis girls, they're sluts."
After her comments went to print, it seemed she backpeddled on what she said, issuing a an apology statement.
The British teen said the reprinted comments were taken out of context but nevertheless apologized in a statement on Thursday.
"I would just like to say a big sorry to anyone that I may have offended in an interview published recently," she said. "I made a totally inappropriate, throwaway comment without considering the consequences. I still have a lot to learn both on and off the court, and clearly I need to be a lot more careful about how silly remarks may come across when taken out of context.
“I live for tennis, I have many good friends in the game and I would never want to do anything that could hurt the reputation of a game I love. I will learn a lot from this and now just want to focus on my tennis."
