But that return to the Canberra bubble is the least of the big guy's concerns. Frydenberg, 54, is about to be whisked into surgery to reattach his torn hamstring tendon after coming a cropper in a men's singles grand final during the family and friends tournament at South Hawthorn Tennis Club a few weeks ago.
