Tennis: Kyrgios out of Roland Garros with elbow injury

Author: Agencies

PARIS: Australia’s Nick Kyrgios pulled out of the French Open after failing to shake off a persistent elbow injury that has troubled him in the past few weeks, the 23-year-old announced on Sunday. “Unfortunately I have to withdraw from this year’s French Open,” the world number 23 wrote in a message on Twitter. “Having consulted with my team and medical experts it is deemed too risky for me to step out and potentially play five sets on clay especially as I have not played a singles match in nearly two months. “I’ve worked hard and wanted to play Roland Garros, but I literally ran out of time.” Kyrgios was scheduled to take on compatriot Bernard Tomic in the opening round on Monday.
