20-year-old Australian Nick Kyrgios is comfortably through to the third round of Wimbledon, defeating renowned clay-courter Juan Monaco of Argentina 7-6(5), 6-3, 6-4 in 1 hour and 40 minutes.

The first set went down to the wire, with Monaco looking the steadier of the two. Kyrgios often looked bothered by the Australian fanatics and even had an altercation with the chair umpire; at one point directing some rather vulgar remarks towards him. The Aussie won it the end with his supreme talent proving too much for Monaco to handle in the end.  Both players served very well and break point opportunities were vastly scarce. What made the difference in the end was the total number of winners for Kyrgios; 17 compared to Monaco’s seven.

The Argentine lost his concentration after that and started the second set poorly. He went down 0-40 in first service game, having not conceded break points the entire first set. Kyrgios, on the other hand, looked noticeably more relaxed, especially after breaking Monaco’s serve in that game. The 20-year-old hit just three unforced errors on his way to winning the set 6-3.

The third set started in much of the same way as the second set, with Kyrgios breaking Monaco’s serve in the first game. Monaco’s game continued to dwindle and it almost felt like he was surrendering to the difficult, albeit entertaining, atmosphere provided by the jubilant Australian fanatics. There was a mini resurgence from the former world number ten where he almost broke Kyrgios’ serve, and the Aussie himself slightly drifted away towards the end. But that wasn't enough to pose a threat on the Aussie's dominance. The 20-year-old won 91 percent of points on his first serve and hit 15 winners on his way to winning the set 6-4.

In the end, it was a rather comfortable victory for Kyrgios, but if his achievements in the game are to match his immense talent, he needs to improve the mental aspect of his game. It always seemed like a lot was going through his head and he paid way too much attention to the fanatics instead of focusing on the match. In fact, he was literally conversing with them on multiple occasions in the middle of the match, which was quite bizarre.

It’s about to get much tougher for the Aussie hotshot in the third round, where he will face a relative equal in big-serving 7th seed Milos Raonic. The Canadian defeated veteran Tommy Haas on Court 1 in four sets.
