Nick Kyrgios suffered more injury woe as the Australian was forced to retire from his Wimbledon first round match against Pierre-Hugues Herbert on Monday July 03,2017
Kyrgios admitted last week he would go into Wimbledon only "60-65 percent" fit as he struggled to recover from the left hip injury that forced him to pull out of Queen's Club last month.
The 22-year-old had reached at least the fourth round in all three of his previous Wimbledon appearances.
But after losing in the second round at both the Australian and French Opens this year, Kyrgios's miserable 2017 continued as the world number 20 lost the first two sets 6-3, 6-4 against Herbert before deciding to call it quits due to the nagging injury.
Herbert will face France's Benoit Paire or Brazilian Rogerio Dutra Silva in the second round.
