LONDON (Reuters) - Australian showman Nick Kyrgios's said he was playing "unbelievable" tennis before being forced to quit with an abdominal injury after two sets of his third-round Wimbledon clash against Felix Auger-Aliassime on Saturday.

The 26-year-old, contesting his first tournament since the Australian Open in February after a self-imposed COVID-19 exile, won the first set 6-2 but was clearly hampered as he lost the second 6-1, having had a medical timeout.
