What can we expect from Nick Kyrgios? He's up next against Lorenzo Sonego.

Nick Kyrgios has won! The Aussie crowd clearly appreciates that - it was a good, solid performance from the home favourite, who bizarrely throws a banana skin into the crowd to celebrate. Never a dull moment with him around.

Into another tiebreaker!

Sonego is serving to stay in it! We've still not had any breaks in the third but Kyrgios has not been overly troubled.

If Sonego somehow wins this match, this game could be viewed as a turning point. Kyrgios twice crafts break point chances but twice the Italian saves them. That could have been the match if the Australian had converted.

Sonego gets off to a nightmare start in the tiebreaker with a double fault and Kyrgios leads from there, sealing it to three to take a commanding lead in this contest.

After the first set turned into something of a procession for Kyrgios, Sonego has come back into this contest and been solid on serve.

Kyrgios rattles off five games in a row to win the first set! It's a great hold to seal it too, coming back from 0-30.

This is what we all want to see from Kyrgios. He needs three break points to convert but each time he was denied, he came back stronger and stuck to his task. He has the lead and the home crowd goes wild.

Well it's been a surprisingly low key start to the tournament for Kyrgios, with the Australian and Sonego exchanging three routine holds at the start of the match.
