Controversial Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios says he's mended his relationship with Stan Wawrinka, four months after he served up his infamous sledge.
French Open champion Wawrinka was fuming at the Montreal Masters in August when Kyrgios, mid-match, took a spiteful swipe at the Swiss by claiming fellow Australian Thanasi Kokkinakis slept with his girlfriend.
"So disappointing to see a fellow athlete and colleague be so disrespectful in a way I could never even imagine," Wawrinka tweeted.
Kyrgios was fined $US10,000 by the ITF and the 20-year-old - not for the first time - copped a barrage of criticism for his brash antics.
The pair spent the last few weeks together as Singapore Slammers teammates competing in the International Premier Tennis League throughout Asia and the Middle East.
"It's been really good actually," Kyrgios told Fox Sports in Singapore after the Slammers beat the Indian Aces in the final.
"We've all been chatting. I feel we're much more comfortable with each other now. It's almost like nothing happened. We're out there competing, we're playing for the same team, we want to win.
"That's been the main thing - is me just getting up and giving him all the energy I give everyone else, and he's appreciated that and he's been playing some really good tennis as well."
