Kyrgios stated that his mom is Malaysian and a great cook. Kyrgios's mother made him watch her during his childhood. The Aussie star further stated that he can easily prepare noodles and fried rice. The two tennis players were seen talking about how good food can help them recover from a tour loss on the ATP and WTA tours. Kyrgios believed that eating well shifts the mind and allows him to cope with his crushing defeats on the ATP tours.

“My mom’s Malaysian, so she’s a very good cook. She made me watch her in the kitchen when I was young, so I actually can cook a little bit. I’d probably make fried rice or noodles, that stuff I can actually cook. When you lose you feel pretty bad, but then you realize our lives are very amazing, we travel the world. So you just try to remind yourself that we can go to a nice restaurant and enjoy our time together,” Nick Kyrgios told former No. 1 Garbine Muguruza.
