Nick Kyrgios beats Santiago Giraldo to set up Andy Murray clash

Australia's Nick Kyrgios will play Andy Murray in the Rogers Cup second round after he defeated Santiago Giraldo in Toronto.

Nick Kyrgios has recorded a straight-sets win over Santiago Giraldo to progress through to the second round of the Rogers Cup.

The world number 70, who was handed a wildcard into the tournament after he defeated Rafael Nadal on the way to reaching the Wimbledon quarter-finals, started poorly and quickly found himself 5-2 behind.

However, the Australian fought back to take the opener to a tie-break, which he took to move one set away from a win on his Masters Series debut.

The second was dominated on serve, but Kyrgios broke the Colombian during the 12th game of the set to see him register a 7-6 7-5 triumph.

Kyrgios will now play Andy Murray in the last 32, which is scheduled to be the first match to take place on the main Stadium court on Wednesday.
