HAS Nick Kyrgios finally pulled his head in? In a sign the Aussie SuperBrat wants to right his wrongs, he has insisted he’s learned his lesson.

In a revealing Q and A with fans and critics on Twitter on Friday afternoon, the 20-year-old assured “there will not be a next time” in the wake of the Stan Wawrinka sledge scandal that has made headlines around the world.

Kyrgios also said he would “work his nuts off” to win a Davis Cup for Australia and that he realised how blessed he was to be a professional tennis player.

@Adelaiderocker I'll work my nuts off to try.

A day after Kyrgios was busted on air saying “Kokkinakis banged your girlfriend,” it emerged Kyrgios did not stop at one dirty dig.

In a second video, Kyrgios is heard mumbling, “He’s banging an 18-year-old,” in another pot shot at his 30-year-old Swiss opponent.

Wawrinka is reportedly dating 19-year-old Croatian player Donna Vekic. While Vekic has not commented on the scandal herself, she did take to Twitter to endorse Wawrinka’s tweets as the world No. 5 slammed Kyrgios’ behaviour.

Donna Vekic retweets Wawrinka’s takedown of Kyrgios.

Thanasi Kokkinakis and Donna Vekic.

The scandal got even more personal as Kyrgios’ brother Christos got involved, making crude remarks about Vekic on radio and then again on Facebook.

Wawrinka said he confronted Kyrgios in the locker room after the match in Montreal. Christos suggested if he was there, he would have attacked Wawrinka himself.

“The p***k is lucky I wasn’t there or he would have been withdrawing from the next few tournaments,” Christos wrote on Facebook.

“He put his hands on Nick — grabbed him and said a whole bunch of abusive s***. I’ve studied law and that s*** is abuse bro. Lucky we aren’t pressing charges.”

‘THE KID NEEDS HELP’

THERE has been strong reaction to Kyrgios’s moment of madness across the world today.

Kevin Mitchell, writing in The Guardian, described Kyrgios as a kid who needs help, pointing the finger at his family, including mother Nill and brother, Christos.

“The catalogue of incidents is getting too long for Kyrgios or his family to ignore,” Mitchell wrote. “If they care about him as a son and brother, they will have a quiet word. He has used up pretty much all the goodwill set aside for him by well-meaning friends, hangers-on and sections of the Australian media. There are not many excuses left.

“If Kyrgios cares about his career — and sometimes he is so blase about his success, wealth and celebrity he professes to hate tennis — the hip young dude from Canberra who smirks when he should be smiling, who plainly is struggling with fame, needs to understand he is not the only clown in town. He is part of a travelling circus, certainly, but the laughter stopped a little while ago.”

USA Today’s Chris Chase said the 20-year-old had unquestionably crossed a line. “It was truly one of those moments that made you sit up, wrinkle your brow and say aloud, to nobody in particular, ‘wait, what the hell just happened?’ Look, I love the fire of Kyrgios and the f-bombs and the racquet abuse and the yelling at the chair umpire, but he crossed the line this time, then screamed at it, probably.

Talk about CLASSLESS - these remarks in a tennis match were bush league! My friends u can't buy CHARACTER u earn it .http://t.co/cAGdTwURw8

Kyrgios was booed in his return to the court at the ATP Masters in Montreal today, where he was eventually beaten 7-5 6-3 by American John Isner in the third round.

The ATP took action against Kyrgios today, fining him $10,000 and stating there was a possibility of more action.

Kyrgios later made a public apology on Facebook.

“I would like to take this opportunity to apologise for the comments I made during the match last night vs Stan Wawrinka,” he said.

“My comments were made in the heat of the moment and were unacceptable on many levels. In addition to the private apology I’ve made, I would like to make a public apology as well. I take full responsibility for my actions and regret what happened.”

Will there be a handshake the next time the two meet?
