Nick Kyrgios' mother was disappointed when swimming legend Dawn Fraser said her son should to go back to where his parents came from if he wasn't happy.
"I experienced a lot of that when I was younger. So, I was mainly disappointed in the fact that there are still people that truly don't believe that Australia belongs to everyone," Norlaila Kyrgios, who was born in Malaysia, told the Seven Network.
But she didn't want to dwell on the issue, for which Fraser later apologised, and was more focused on spending time with her son who returned to Canberra overnight after his tumultuous Wimbledon campaign.
