Nadal started strongly, got pegged back as Kyrgios fuelled himself with fury in a second set full of incident, then came through a high-octane tiebreak to take the third. Nadal was in complete control in the early stages and Kyrgios seemingly needed an injection of emotion - or anger - to fire him up. “Why am I waiting to serve?” Kyrgios asked the umpire - the first of a series of progressively angry exchanges. That was underlined when Nadal broke back to love - only to drop serve a second time as Kyrgios levelled the match. Perhaps, typically, however, the tiebreak was effectively settled when Kyrgios netted the most straightforward of overheads on the opening point and Nadal never looked back.
