Kygrios coy over Tomic

-

NICK Kyrgios is refusing to fuel tensions ahead of a first-round French Open clash with Bernard Tomic, declaring he is still well short of peak fitness.

The Australian partnered American Jack Sock to confidence-boosting victory in the Lyon doubles final with a 7-5 2-6 11-9 triumph over Czech Roman Jebavy and Dutchman Matwe Middelkoop.

But he did not answer questions about his imminent Roland Garros meeting with Tomic, preferring to focus on his injured right elbow.

“I’m making good progress. I’ve got to take it slow,” he said.

“I haven’t completed by rehab yet. I’m about 80 per cent.”
