Hip struggle foils Kyrgios

INJURY appears to have played a role in Nick Kyrgios losing his first match since his Shanghai shenanigans.

The world No.20 won a tense first set but was beaten 6-7 (3-7), 6-3, 6-3 by Belgian Ruben Bemelmans in the second round of the European Open in Antwerp.

The Australian third seed, who received a bye in round one, appeared to struggle with a hip injury.
