It set up a fascinating contest when they were drawn to face one another at Wimbledon last year in the second round.
The match proved highly charged with Kyrgios at one point smashing the ball at his opponent.
Nadal called the shot “dangerous” after winning in four sets, but Kyrgios insisted he had no reason to apologise as he “wanted to hit him”.
“The dude has got how many Slams, how much money in the bank account? I think he can take a ball to the chest,” he said at the time.
