Nick Kyrgios has had a challenging yet memorable career on the tennis courts. Out of all the things that the fans never forget about him, his multiple controversies are something that resurface every once in a while. Back in 2016, fans witnessed an extremely heated moment between the Aussie and Stan Wawrinka.

While the argument seemed to have started a rivalry as Kyrgios stepped into the personal line of Wawrinka, fans would have never expected them to combine ever again. However, after such a long time, both players will soon be crossing paths with each other.

The annual Desert Smash is setting the stage in Southern California to bring the pre-Indian Wells action. After 19 years of successfully hosting tennis events that not only gather ATP and WTA stars but also merge famous celebrities in the game, the event is targeted to serve the fans with entertainment like never before.

As the event’s website recently gave out the details of the players, venue, and host, they also gave fans a new array of expectations by announcing the comeback of Nick Kyrgios. The Aussie, who has kept himself out on the sidelines for a while, is set to step back on the courts once again, in a setup meant for charity.

The debut of Nick Kyrgios on the 20th anniversary of the event becomes a point of attention for the fans as Stan Wawrinka is also a major participant. While both players have been involved in a feud that has lasted for over nine years now, their crossover in this event is surely going to be exciting. However, it still remains to be seen if they maintain the heat or have put the rivalry aside to join hands for a noble cause.
