World No 20 Nick Kyrgios has withdrawn from the first round of Wimbledon due to injury when trailing 6-3 6-4 against France’s Pierre-Hugues Herbert.

The Australian aggravated a long-standing hip problem in a fall at Queen's Club two weeks ago and rated himself only "60, 65 per cent fit" on the eve of the tournament.

It was clear from the start of Monday's match that Kyrgios was in no condition to be the title dark horse many people would have expected.

His serve kept him in contention until a double fault gave Herbert a break for 5-3 in the opening set.

When Kyrgios was broken again in the seventh game of the second, he appeared to be in tears while he sat on his chair at the changeover before walking back on court shaking his head.

The Australian called the trainer after Herbert won the second set to lead 6-3 6-4 before deciding he could not continue.

The hip injury - which he said affects "virtually everything" in his game - has been troubling the 22-year-old ever since he retired hurt midway through his third-round match at last year's US Open, and hindered his French Open campaign last month.
