curling of tomato plant leaves are perfectly normal by the way :)

it could be a beet leafhopper, which is a pest that doesn't like tomato plants naturally, but they will sample the plant before moving on, which can transmit the virus to the plant. Spraying will not help, because these bugs migrate, so they can transmit the disease before dieing. The best way to prevent this is to group your plants closer together. This gives less of a contrast between soil and plants, which is why they are attracted to tomatoes to begin with.

Unlike potatoes rolled leaves on tomatoes do not indicate disease. The curling of young leaves is usually taken as a good sign if they are dark green. The rolling of older leaves is usually due to a wide variation between day and night temperatures. Providing no pests are present no action need be taken.
