Zverev survives Coric test
Alexander Zverev booked his place in the third round of the tournament by beating Borna Coric, who put up quite a fight in his second tournament back after a year on the sidelines.
The 24-year-old German took the first set 6-4 before the Croat won the second set 6-3. Both players held serve in the first eight games of the final set before Zverev broke Coric to go 2-0 up and maintained his lead throughout the set.
The German then held his serve to take the match and seal his place in the third round, where he faces Mackenzie McDonald.
Kyrgios thrashes fifth seed Rublev
Nick Kyrgios produced one of the upsets of the tournament by thrashing fifth seed Andrey Rublev 6-3, 6-0 in only 51 minutes. It was a massive win for the Australian, who has been in pretty good form lately but has seen his ranking drop out of the top-100. Kyrgios will face 31st seed Fabio Fognini in the third round.
