Nick Kyrgios retired with an injury after the second set of his third-round Wimbledon match against Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Kyrgios appeared to struggle with an abdominal injury and told a trainer that he couldn't serve properly and was worried about tearing a muscle.
"It's getting worse and worse," Kyrgios said. "I'm trying but I can't even, I can't serve anymore. I can't do it."
Kyrgios won the first set 6-2 but lost the second 6-1 on No.1 Court.

The Australian is also playing mixed doubles with Venus Williams at this year's tournament; it is unclear if he will continue in that draw.
Kyrgios, playing his first event outside Australia in more than 18 months, had made a bright start to Wimbledon. He beat 21st seed Ugo Humbert in a thrilling five-setter in round one, before defeating Gianluca Mager in straight sets in round two.
