LONDON (Reuters) - Wimbledon is Nick Kyrgios' first tournament since the Australian Open and only his third since the COVID-19 pandemic shut down the Tour last year but the unseeded showman has hardly shown signs of rust after storming into the third round.

Kyrgios' match against Canada's Felix Auger-Aliassime will be only his ninth of the year but he sent out a warning when he ousted 21st seed Ugo Humbert in the first round in what was the Australian's first match on grass in two years.
