Cameron Norrie stormed into the second round of Paris Masters, beating Federico Delbonis 6-2 6-1.
The British No 1, fresh off his first ATP 1000 victory at Indian Wells in October, was on fine form and gave his Argentine opponent few chances in a routine win.
After a cagey start Norrie rattled off four consecutive games to take the first set 6-2, with a 1st serve success rate of 83 per cent.
And the 26-year-old continued in kind in the second, breaking at the earliest opportunity for a 2-0 lead.
Another hold of serve and another break and Norrie looked every bit the player that won at Indian Wells as he raced towards the second round.
Norrie saved a break back point from Delbonis in the fifth game of the second set to make it nine games in a row.
And while Delbonis stopped the rot with a hold, Norrie served to take the match and a place in the second round.
While Norrie advanced, British No 2 Dan Evans was beaten in three sets by Alexander Bublik.
Evans saw the match slip away from him as he went down 2-6 7-5 7-5, with Bubilk facing sixth seed Casper Ruud next.
