Kei Nishikori kept up his Japan Open-winning form as he cruised through his Shanghai Masters opener on Tuesday just 48 hours after lifting his second Tour title.
Australian teenager Bernard Tomic lost 6-4 6-0 to Florian Mayer, while China's Zhang Ze, who last week stunned Richard Gasquet in the China Open, could not produce fireworks for a second consecutive week, slipping to a comprehensive 6-0 6-2 defeat at the hands of Taiwan's Lu Yen-hsun.
