The Australian is feeling good on the London turf and it shows. His quality of service, still remarkable today, was the founding basis of his victory: 29 aces and no break point conceded. What amazes all the more are his 11 small mistakes that show the application of the Canberra native.
The Italian, however, was not passive and took risks to derail the 60th player in the world. But his 58 winning shots did not weigh heavily next to his 28 unforced errors and, above all, in the face of Kyrgios’ ability to rebound at the slightest warning on his faceoffs.
His opponent in the third round will be the opportunity to have, whatever happens, an intriguing poster: it will be the Canadian Félix Auger-Aliassime or the Swede Mikael Ymer.
