SYDNEY (Reuters) - Nick Kyrgios has accused Olympic great Dawn Fraser of being a "blatant racist" after she said tennis players should "go back to where their parents came from" if they did not set a better example to Australian youth.
The former champion swimmer, after initially standing by her comments and denying they were racist, later issued an "unreserved apology for any comments... which may have caused offence to my fellow Australians including Nick and his family".
