MELBOURNE — Nick Kyrgios will be fit for next week's Australian Open despite pulling out of his Kooyong Classic match against David Goffin with a foot injury on Wednesday.
The outspoken Australian had called for a medical time out at 3-2 in the first set of the exhibition event before winning it in a tiebreaker against his Belgian opponent and called for the trainer again at 1-1 in the second.
The world number 30 carried on briefly but opted to quit at the next changeover while trailing 3-2.
"Hate withdrawing, so sorry to everyone @KooyongClassic," Kyrgios posted on Twitter.
