Tomic and Kyrgios on good terms

GOLD Coast tennis star Bernard Tomic has raised the prospect of a Davis Cup reunion with Nick Kyrgios after the pair engaged in a spirited Roland Garros practice session ahead of tough first-round French Open assignments.

In the latest twist in the one-time doubles duo’s on-off relationship, there was standing room only on the intimate court four as Tomic and Kyrgios entertained fans with a lively half-hour workout on tournament eve.

Tomic’s decision to sit out Davis Cup in 2017 has left Kyrgios and Australian captain Lleyton Hewitt “disappointed and frustrated”, with Kyrgios saying “there’s no reason why he should not be here” during February’s tie against the Czech Republic.

Whispers around Roland Garros have Tomic reconsidering his position, despite Australia managing to reach a September semi-final against Belgium in his absence.

Hewitt would be heartened to see Kyrgios and Tomic back in union in Paris.

Both have copped rough draws for the claycourt major, Tomic’s particularly brutal.

The world No.39 faced Austrian sixth seed Dominic Thiem overnight. Tomic has won only three matches in seven years at Roland Garros, while Thiem is the only man in 2017 to have beaten the great Rafael Nadal on clay.

Kyrgios opens his campaign tomorrow, when the 18th seed is up against experienced German Philipp Kohlschreiber.
