The Hungarian player defeated Joao Sousa 6-4, 7-6 to advance into the second round.

Stan Wawrinka gets a big big win over Nick Kyrgios, 1-6, 7-5, 7-5 to reach the 2nd round in Toronto. Fun (but super weird) match.

That was quite something. Stan Wawrinka comes back from the tennis version of being dead to beat Nick Kyrgios 1-6 7-5 7-5. Two breaks of serve towards the end of both sets and a one-handed backhand on both set and match points.
Stats: Wawrinka 35w 23ue; Kyrgios 44w 34ue #atp

Not sure if I would even be able to hit *that* hard towards the outside of a tennis court.

Patches of brilliance from Nick during the match, some rockets, but not enough to win the match #Wawrinka #Kyrgios #RogersCup

They may never become best friends, but the post-match handshake between Stan Wawrinka and Nick Kyrgios was certainly cordial and respectful. #RogersCup pic.twitter.com/igB7VnPYbr
