Labeled the ‘villain’ of the sport, Nick, 27, is known for his aggressive outbursts during his match losses.
To get it off her chest, she often smashes her tennis rackets on the floor and it looks like her mom has been picking them up over the years.
In the Netflix episode, Norlaila could be seen sitting on a bed while spinning one of those rackets in her hands.

It comes after the bad boy of tennis withdrew from the Australian Open and announced that he would be returning to his mother’s house to undergo knee surgery in the next two weeks.
The stunning decision came just a day before he was due to play his first round match against Roman Safiullin in the final hammer blow of the tournament.
It was Australia’s best chance of winning a Grand Slam title and he was originally battling an ankle injury that prevented him from competing in any of the warm-up tournaments before play began at Melbourne Park.

A routine MRI, which was performed after Nick suffered from knee discomfort, revealed that he had a tear in his lateral meniscus and a cyst, his physical therapist Will Maher explained.
He said the injury is not serious enough to endanger his career and has only become a problem in the last two weeks.
The star said he was heartbroken to have to pull out of the home Grand Slam, where many saw it as a better chance than he had at Wimbledon, where he lost the final to Novak Djokovic last year.
