SYDNEY — Nick Kyrgios has accused Olympic great Dawn Fraser of being a "blatant racist" after the former champion swimmer said tennis players should "go back to where their parents came from" if they didn't set a better example to Australian youth.
Kyrgios was the subject of a barrage of criticism back home for his on-court antics when he was beaten by Richard Gasquet at Wimbledon on Tuesday.
The 20-year-old was accused of giving up, or "tanking", in one game, received a warning for an audible obscenity and conducted a running debate with the umpire throughout the match.
