Australian Nick Kyrgios sealed a comfortable victory over Frenchman Adrian Mannarino in the first round of the Miami Open on Wednesday, while former world number one Naomi Osaka defeated Astra Sharma.

“It was a hell of a performance,” Kyrgios said. “Getting on late, it wasn’t easy. So I’m really proud of myself with the way I responded. I felt good, I competed well today against a tough opponent.”

After the match, Osaka soaked up the applause from the sparse crowd in what was a far different atmosphere from 11 days earlier in Indian Wells when she fought back tears after being heckled during a second-round loss to Veronika Kudermetova. “I just wanted to prove I could come back out here and compete and no matter if I won or lost just know I had the best attitude that I could.”

She has taken breaks from the sport on several occasions and said after her match on Wednesday that she was seeing a therapist.
