Last year's Wimbledon runner-up Nick Kyrgios will not place any unfair expectations on himself, the Australian said on Sunday as he gears up for the Grand Slam with little preparation after a knee injury decimated the first half of his season.
The 28-year-old had surgery on his left knee earlier in the year and was beaten in his comeback match following a five-month layoff when he fell to China's Wu Yibing in the Stuttgart Open first round last month.
"Obviously five-set tennis is a completely different base altogether," Kyrgios told reporters. "I look at my preparations last year coming in, I probably had the most ideal preparation possible. It couldn't be any different this year. "I'm going to take it one day at a time. I'm not going to look forward and put unfair expectations on myself."
