Kyrgios has other things on his mind,chiefly his health. He said he felt in reasonable shape on Tuesday after he withdrew from the Sydney Tennis Classic in the wake of a positive test.

“I actually don’t feel too bad at the moment and I’m taking all necessary precautions,” he said. “Obviously not ideal a week out of the Aus Open,but I’m going to do everything in my power to feel OK and get out there and hopefully give you all a show.

“I just don’t want this to take away from the Australian summer of tennis. We’ve had a lot of great results,a lot of other Aussies are doing really well.”
