Nick Kyrgios was forced to retire against Felix Auger-Aliassime in their Wimbledon third round encounter on Saturday due to a strained abdominal muscle.

But the Australian certainly supplied plenty of entertainment before he bowed out - most notably when he forgot his tennis shoes at the start of the match and replied to a Auger-Aliassime's tweener with the very same trick-shot.
