Nick Kyrgios knocks Stanislas Wawrinka out of Madrid Open

Nick Kyrgios beats Stanislas Wawrinka in straight sets to reach the third round of the Madrid Open.

World number four Stanislas Wawrinka has been knocked out of the Madrid Open in the second round by Nick Kyrgios.

The 21-year-old managed to earn a 7-6(7) 7-6(2) victory in one hour and 48 minutes.

The 2015 French Open champion failed to create a single break point in the first set, which was forced into a tie-break.

Kyrgios raced to a 3-0 lead in the breaker, but Wawrinka fought back with a double break before drawing level 6-6.

It was the Australian, though, who broke to take the first set, but he struggled to carry that momentum to the second as games went by way of serve.

Another tie-break was needed to separate the two competitors, and once again, Kyrgios came out on top 7-2.
