Kyrgios is through after he defeated Mackenzie McDonald, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4.
Furthermore, the 29-year-old Australian finally posted a victory after nearly three years with his opening round win in South Florida.
Moreover, the fomer world No.13, who has since dropped to No.1099, is playing his surgically repaired right wrist and needed five painkillers to get through.
“I’m not going to lie: I was pretty close to crying on court,” Kyrgios said.
“So I was listening to a lot of the outside noise — whether I’d be able to play at this level and win. Playing’s one thing, but winning matches and executing is another thing,” he added.
