The Aussie took a fall at 4-all in the first set and after recovering temporarily, he was forced to pull the plug after dropping the first set tiebreaker to Young. "I will be playing, for sure".

Kyrgios said in the build-up to the match that he has had hip trouble for the last seven months but was now playing without pain.

Kyrgios was given anti-inflammatories when he came off court, but he is still waiting to see if a scan is necessary.

"It just was a sharp pain when I fell", the Australian told reporters.

"It's not great at the moment".

The world number 20 then made a decision to call time on the match and appeared in some distress as he left the court, having previously struggled with both hip and shoulder complaints already this year.

Asked what he would now do to wile away the time at the house he's renting in Wimbledon with his mother, and girlfriend, Kyrgios quipped: "Dog and Fox", - a reference to a local pub in the affluent suburb. "I'm sure it will".

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga eased past fellow Frenchman Adrian Mannarino 6-2 6-2 in 66 minutes, Tsonga seemingly relishing being back on grass after a hard clay-court season that included a first-round exit at the French Open.

Tsonga's strong start to his grass-court campaign was the flawless way to erase the painful memory of an embarrassing first-round exit against unheralded Argentine Renzo Olivo on the clay at Roland Garros. "I felt it was painful and it's not really worth it", the 20th-ranked Kyrgios said.

Tsonga will play either Nikoloz Basilashvili or Gilles Muller in round two.
