The locker room drama in which Stan Wawrinka accosted Nick Kyrgios is regarded as one of the most contentious incidents in the recent history of the sport. Some disrespectful and personal comments were exchanged between the two ATP superstars during the Canadian Open. And now it looks like the Swiss tennis legend will again be reminded of the entire episode.

The Australian tennis player’s recent social media update suggests that he is trying to re-ignite the feud with Wawrinka by backing his opponent, Holger Rune.

As Rune is being criticized by the entire tennis community, the controversial Aussie player has stepped forward to his defense.

The 19-year-old player has got himself a new ally as he is getting slammed by the fans for his disrespectful behavior with Stan Wawrinka. After his defeat, Holger Rune tried to remind him about their ATP Paris Masters controversy where he was advised “not to act like a baby” by the Swiss tennis legend.

During their unpleasant exchange at the net, the Danish tennis player asked Wawrinka whether he had something to say to him, considering their previous season’s drama. Later, Rune was under fire from the fans who slammed him for his disparaging behavior with the 3-time Grand Slam champion. The ongoing drama between the two ATP players has also caught the attention of the bad boy of tennis who has now stepped in on the matter.
