ner, he concedes his place in the side is far

Nick Kyrgios?picked up where he left off in Atlanta, cruising to victory in his opening match of the Cincinnati Masters.The Australian 14th seed took just 67 minutes to dispose of 22-year-old French world No.26 Lucas Pouille 6-2 7-5.The 21-year-old Aussie closed out the match with a forehand winner and his 16th ace of the match after breaking Pouille at 5-5 in the second set to give himself the chance to serve for the match.Kyrgios made no mistake. Indeed the Aussie went about his business with a minimum of fuss despite going on court very late and finishing the match after midnight.Throughout the affair Kyrgios pressed on the Pouille second serve and took chances when they were presented to him, winning three of four break points.Kyrgios has now won five matches straight, including his Atlanta title and will next face Croatian youngster Borna Coric in the second round.Kyrgios beat Coric 6-4 6-4 on the claycourts of Estoril earlier this year, in their only meeting to date.Corics countryman, 12th seed Marin Cilic also advanced with a 6-3 6-4 win over Serbias Viktor Troicki.Not so lucky was 10th seeded Spaniard David Ferrer, who was humbled 6-4 2-6 6-4 by French journeyman Julien Benneteau. American wildcards Jared Donaldson and Reilly Opelka continued their impressive form this US summer.Opelka defeated inconsistent world No.53 Frenchman Jeremy Chardy 3-6 7-5 7-6 (11-9), while Donaldson breezed past Spanish veteran Nicolas Almagro 6-3 7-6 (7-2).Both face tough second round matches though, Opelka to play Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Donaldson drawn to play Swiss second seed Stan Wawrinka. Grigor Dimitrov found some form to beat Frenchman Gilles Simon 6-1 6-3 while South African Kevin Anderson and Uruguays Pablo Cuevas also advanced to the second round.

Kangaroos veteran Sam Thaiday admits he fears for his place in Mal Meningas squad for the second Four Nations clash against New Zealand.The 31-year-old, whos been a staple of the Australia side since 2009, has featured off the bench in all three of Meningas games in charge.But with the emergence of exciting back-rowers Tyson Frizell and Jake Trbojevic - both try-scorers in the win over Scotland on Friday - in addition to Trent Merrin and Boyd Cordner, he concedes his place in the side is far from guaranteed.Being older, I am feeling pressure more, Thaiday said.We have these young, fresh-faced kids coming through and no-ones position in the team is secure unless youre Cameron Smith.But its a great problem to have. There is always banter among the players about whos playing ... and I am sure that will continue ovver the week leading to the New Zealand game.dddddddddddd.Thaiday also welcomed Mal Meningas attempts to stir the pot ahead of the clash against England on November 12 with a sensational attack on Wayne Bennett in his Courier Mail newspaper column on Friday.That was good, it stirs things up ahead of the game in a couple of weeks time, he said.Itll be quite funny to see what the talk is between the two. Hopefully they can send him back with his tail between his legs.Maybe hell escape out of the back door again, Thaiday added in a reference to Bennett taking the rear exit at Brisbane airport after coaching the first Australian side to lose a series in 28 years at the 2005 Tri-Nations.
