Tennis has seen the drama unfold beyond imagination. Often time on court banter gets escalated to personal low blows. Officials once forced Stan Wawrinka and Nick Kyrgios to separate in the locker room after their infamous clash at the 2015 Canadian Open. In 2022, fresh details have arisen about the interactions.

Nick Kyrgios had a nasty feud with Stan Wawrinka

Kyrgios has lost his temper several times during his career. On the court, Kyrgios made unsavory comments to Wawrinka about his then-girlfriend, Donna Vekic. In the second set of the second round match of the Rogers Cup, people heard the controversial Kyrgios saying “Kokkinakis banged your girlfriend. Sorry to tell you that, mate” on the court microphone.

8 years later, a tennis official shares the new details surrounding the unhealthy banter.
