However, World No 1 Novak Djokovic eased into third round with a 6-2, 6-4 win over 19-year-old Croatian Borna Coric yesterday.
Djokovic, who last played in Madrid in 2013, served four double faults, but relied on his return to beat Coric. Wawrinka, the fourth seed, managed 11 aces but was unable to break the Kyrgios serve while losing his own four times. &ldquo;It was generally a good match, I had chances in the first set,&rdquo; Wawrinka said. &ldquo;He was serving well in the big moments. He played better on a few important points. His serve was tough to read. It was a high-level match but a few points can make the difference.&rdquo;
