Confident Kyrgios cruises into third round

Nick Kyrgios wasted no time in crushing Filip Krajinovic with 50 winners to roll into the Wimbledon third round on Thursday 6-2, 6-3, 6-1.

The convincing win in 85 minutes featured 50 winners and a mere 10 unforced errors off the Aussie’s racquet with six breaks of his Serb opponent’s serve.

After being taken to five sets by Brit Paul Jubb in the first round, the No. 40  was pleased to stroll through.

“Getting over the line in the first set was massive, but I’ve been playing good tennis this month,” the Stuttgart and Halle grass semi-finalist said.

“There were a lot of positives today. I was in my zone, I had great body language and I played well.

“I want to remind everyone that I’m pretty good.”
