Nick Kyrgios' clay court campaign got underway with a straight sets win against Marcos Baghdatis at the Madrid Open on Monday.
Kyrgios won 7-6 6-4 in the first round in Madrid as he began his preparations for the French Open, where he has never been beyond the third round.
The Australian fired 14 aces, struck 10 backhand winners and didn't face a single break point in his dominant victory that took just one hour and 17 minutes.
The shenanigans that have become his trademark were absent with the exception of one light-hearted moment when he almost struck Baghdatis with a serve during the warm-up.
Elsewhere, Dan Evans was eliminated by Robin Haase before criticising the eligibility of new British No 3, Aljaz Bedene, who was born in Slovenia.
Evans told the BBC: "It's nothing against Aljaz. I like him, he's not confrontational in any way, but to me it doesn't sit well if you play for another country. I don't feel bad about him, but for me it's a bit baffling as to why."
The Madrid Open returns on Tuesday, featuring Andy Murray, live on Sky Sports 1 HD at 11am.
