    French Open: Kyrgios progresses ahead over Marco Cecchinato in three sets


    Nick Kyrgios has scrapped his way into the second round at the French Open, beating Italian Marco Cecchinato in three strait sets.
    Looking short of his absolute best form, Kyrgios needed two tiebreaks to take a 2-0 lead, before finally securing a crucial break in the third to seal the 7-6 (8/6), 7-6 (8/6), 6-4 win.
    Kyrgios's serve was a ferocious as ever, but armed with a graceful backhand, Cecchinato refused to relent saving a number of break points throughout the match.
    But when the Italian missed the chance to steal the second set tiebreak, Kyrgios pounced to set up the match.
    The tie was not short of the usual Kyrgios controversy through, with the young Aussie earning a code violation for an apparently overly boisterous request for a towel from a ball boy.
    The volatile 21-year-old took exception to Ramos' ruling, arguing that he had raised his voice to get the ball boy's attention purely because of the raucous atmosphere inside 'the bullring' as showcourt one is commonly known.
    "Now I've really seen it all," a mystified Kyrgios said to Ramos after being handed the code violation.
    "What rules am I breaking?"
    "That's f***ing bullshit," Kyrgios barked, before referencing an incident in Rome last week where world number one Novak Djokovic pushed away the arm of chair umpire Carlos Bernardes during a win over Rafael Nadal.
    "How can you sit there and give me a code for that?
    "But when Djokovic pushes an umpire out of the way that's alright? Tell the whole world that's alright."

    As he took his place back on the court, Kyrgios directed his gaze at Ramos and said: "Unbelievable bias man. Unbelievable bias."
