Ilie Nastase has apologised for comments he made about Serena Williams' unborn child, but says his outburst during Romania's Fed Cup win over Great Britain was "exaggerated".
Williams accused Nastase of racism after he was overheard asking if the child would be "chocolate with milk?".
Nastase, 70, a former world number one, said his reaction was "spontaneous".
But the Romania captain also criticised GB's Johanna Konta, who was left in tears after his outburst on Saturday.
Nastase, a two-time Grand Slam champion, made the remarks about the American world number one's unborn child before the Fed Cup tie.
