Nick Kyrgios lost the Wimbledon final against Novak Djokovic in his attempt to win his maiden grand slam title. During the course of the past two weeks, tennis fans have seen a lot of skill and drama from his side. However, one thing that has remained constant is the support of his family.
Kyrgios is always seen staring at his booth to seek the support of his family members. His side always has his girlfriend Costeen Hatzi along his with father Giorgos and sister Halimah. All of them were present even during the final. Sadly, they saw Kyrgios losing the match but it was still a proud moment for them.
Nick Kyrgios’ parents are not originally from Australia
While Kyrgios was born in Canberra, his parents are not originally from Australia. His father Giorgos hails from Greece while his mother Norlaila ‘Nill’ was born in Gombak, a district in Selangor, Malaysia. Therefore, it is fair to say Kyrgios comes from a multi-ethnic background.
Interestingly, Norlaila comes from the Selangor royal family in Malaysia and even had the title Tengku of Pahang, or princess of the Pahang state. However, she dropped the title when she came to Australia.
Here’s why Nick Kyrgios’ mother does not come to watch his matches
You might have noticed the absence of Kyrgios’ mother in the stands. That is because she had a heart problem and watching Kyrgios play makes her very nervous. In a past interview to abc.net.au, Norlaila said, “I don’t watch Nick play. I’m just too nervous. I get too scared. I’m just hopeless – I tend to hide.”
