Marin Cilic has reached the third round of the French Open with a 6-4 6-2 6-2 victory over Nick Kyrgios in Paris.

Cilic started off the stronger of the two on the clay court by snatching an early break of serve and pushing on to grab the opening set.

While Kyrgios demonstrated some powerful shots across the court, his form dwindled in the second set as Cilic maintained his dominance with swift forehands and returns to double his lead.

Krygios continued to struggle in the third set, as Cilic was able to wrap up the contest for a place in the next round with ease.
