No 23 seed Nick Kyrgios moved into US Open third round with a 7-6 (7-3), 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 win over Frenchman Benjamin Bonzi.

Obviously a lot of heckling going on as well. The Australian was right, too, for the wafts of weed courtside were easy to smell. Kyrgios is regularly accused of creating a circus on court, but sitting courtside on Armstrong feels akin to attending a carnival, particularly as sunny days extend into hot summer nights.
