LONDON (Reuters) - It was good while it lasted but Nick Kyrgios's return to action was cut short by injury on Saturday as the Australian maverick was forced to quit after two sets against Felix Auger-Aliassime at Wimbledon.

Kyrgios looked great in the opening set as he broke the 16th seed's serve three times but needed an injury timeout to have treatment on his stomach muscles at 5-2.
