There are some big players loaded up on the Roland Garros ramp today.
Still to come are nine-times winner Rafael Nadal (against Andrey Kuznetsov on Court Suzanne Lenglen) and world number one Serena Williams (against Victoria Azarenka on Philippe Chatrier).

"Apart from the posh seats down the front, where jewellery is rattled, Lenglen is pretty much full now and lapping up the antics of Kyrgios in particular.
"Murray might appear to be a bit dour in comparison, decked out in black as opposed to luminous pink/orange and restricting his chatter to the standard self-admonishment, but the tennis is pretty special.

Andy Murray falls off a backhand as the depth of a Nick Kyrgios return catches him by surprise. That takes us to deuce.
Kyrgios's baseline hitting is industrial grade stuff, but Murray's is the more accurate and tends to deny the Australian a solid base to get away his most powerful strokes.
That is a misjudgement from Murray though. A drop-shot as overcooked as the unwanted barbeque burger is run down by Kyrgios and slapped away.
A bit of cat and mouse on the final point and Murray delays and delays on a mid-court ball, trying to smoke out which way Kyrgios is going to gamble. It does the trick as the Scot plonks the ball into the open court.

"'I hate this place,' says Kyrgios towards his box after a call goes against him.
"It looked out from directly in line, but it was tight. Cue two brilliant winners and a killer drop shot. More chunter with the umpire, a bit of ball kid interaction. Murray could be moonwalking down the other end and nobody would notice."
Post update
*Murray 6-4 0-1 Kyrgios
Laser-like.
Nick Kyrgios absolutely flattens a forehand and then a backhand to make a sticky 0-30 a more comfortable 30-30.
Then a tickle of a drop-shot shows that he can do feather duster as well as cudgel.
Even Murray is impressed. "Good shot," he says almost instinctively as one of those groundstrokes streaks past him.
"One of most entertaining sets of tennis I've seen at Rolland Garros this week. There was some fantastic court play, but Murray is just too solid. Kyrgios is going to have to take any half chances and there were one or two there."

Time to turn down the courtside mics.
Andy Murray has caught some of Nick Kyrgios's sweary antics, upbraiding himself as he offers up two break points at 15-40.
It was the pep talk that the Scot needed though. A glorious lob, after gambling which way Kyrgios would batter a forehand at 30-40, gets him off the hook.
Another gossamer touch at the net and the Scot is home and dry.

"There we have it, the 'tweener lob'.
"Kyrgios has all but one of the several thousand people on Lenglen captivated by a really magical shot, raising his arms in triumph. "He'll get broken here," is an early call in the press box and so it proves.
"There follows a sharp word for someone court side, a racquet on the dirt and lots of head shaking and water glugging as Kyrgios ponders what just happened."
"That was extraordinary. I've only ever seen that once before in a match, when Rafa Nadal hit a hotdog winner. It's an extraordinary shot.
"But you can do all that showboating - he just wasn't able to back it up. You have to have a layer under that top layer of gloss, and Kyrgios doesn't have it at the moment."

We've got the director's commentary with this Nick Kyrgios service game.
It is not always pre-watershed friendly though.
The Australian aims an expletive-laden tirade at himself after some ropey play gifts Murray the opening point.
But now he is in a better mood!
A between-the-legs reverse hotdog as he chases back to retrieve an Andy Murray lob, loops over the Scot's head and lands just inside the baseline.
Kyrgios throws his arms and head back to bask in the acclaim.
He may be captain of the showboat, but Murray has wrestled control of the game, stealing serve to move back a break ahead.
Post update
Murray 3-3 Kyrgios*
Andy Murray does seem to be in a bit of a funk.
He offers up a break point at 30-40, but a Nick Krygios error and a couple of barnstorming serves dig him out of a bit of a hole.
"There's a spider-cam above the court. Murray has been talking to the umpire saying he doesn't want to see it moving when he's throwing the ball up to toss. It's something he's complained about on this court before.
"Andy's definitely under pressure out here - there's a feeling that if he took his eye off the ball for one second he could be in trouble."
Post update
Andy Murray has bent the umpire's ear during the changeover about the overhead camera that is zipping about on a high wire above the court while he is trying to serve.
Seems a fair enough complaint to me. If you demand that the spectators stay still in the players' eyeline, the same rules should apply to the broadcasters.

"Nick Kyrgios is nothing if not watchable. I swear he was trying to engage Andy Murray in conversation during the knock-up, shaking his head as the Briton missed a couple of looseners.

"Oh yes."

*Murray 2-1 Kyrgios
The two sides of the Kyrgios coin.
When it lands, his wham-bam tennis looks unstoppable.
When it goes awry, it looks like wasteful recklessness.
Down 15-40, trying to defend two break points, the Australian gifts Murray the first as he overreaches attempting to blast a second-serve ace.
A good foot beyond the service line and that is a gimme for the British number one.
"We've just seen an incredible backhand from Kyrgios. He's definitely showboating out here. Not many people could hit that backhand that perfectly.
"Kyrgios is exciting, he's got it all really. He's got an aura and I think we're seeing him at the launch-pad time of his career."
Post update
Murray 1-1 Kyrgios*
Andy Murray is lobbing plenty of slice and spin into the cocktail today. Kyrgios struggles to get a grip on those floaty backhands and delicate droppers and slips to 40-0.
But when you give the Australian a bit of bounce and angle to work with and a solid baseline platform to hit from, you are in trouble.
A hammer blow of a backhand buys Kyrgios a pass to deuce, but Murray snuffs out the danger.
Post update
*Murray 0-1 Kyrgios
As pre-serving tics go, I quite like Nick Kyrgios's habit of lobbing the ball against his head before launching into his action.
A double fault to allow Murray to 30-40 is less appealing.
Andy Murray spoke before the start of the match of having a game plan for Kyrgios. It looks like drop-shots are a big part of it.
Twice Murray exposes a little flat-footedness in the lanky Aussie with feather-soft dinks into the front court. How's Kyrgios' north-south movement on clay?
Kyrgios shuts the door from deuce though with a big slap of a forehand and a yelp of delight.
Post update
The most unexpected thing you could hear from Nick Kyrgios is "no comment".
The Australian was typically forthcoming when asked in a magazine interview about whether he abstains from, ahem, "bedroom activities" on the night before matches.
"I don't abide by that rule, I don't abide by that at all," he told GQ. earlier this week.
Well, he is looking fresh and spritely this morning. Take that as you will.

"It's felt like a leisurely start to Saturday morning in the affluent surroundings of Roland Garros; dogs being walked, baguettes purchased and clay courts being watered.
"The latter is the scene on Court Suzanne Lenglen just five minutes before the scheduled start, but the players eventually drift out into a sparsely populated arena.
"Lenglen might be calm now but it is the beating heart of Roland Garros, and only last evening played host to the Gael Monfils show. Fast forward a couple of hours and it could get very lively again."
Post update
And here they are.
Nick Kyrgios emerges from the bowels of Suzanne Lenglen with pink puffy earphones clamped down over his ears and the racquet bag slung over his shoulders.
If Harry Enfield's Kevin the Teenager had been more into sport as a youngster, he could have been heading to Paris with an entourage of trainers rather than Ibiza with Perry.
Andy Murray, now something of an elder statesman, is more low-key, decked head to toe in business-like black and grey.
Post update
Wins like that make Nick Kyrgios big box-office down under.
And big box-office players needs prime-time slots rather than graveyards on Australian television.
So, the Aussie broadcasters have had a quiet word in the referee's office, and ensured that today's match gets first use of Court Suzanne Lenglen.
The players will be out to warm-up any moment...

"I think the greatest in every sport have an unbelievable amount of self-confidence."
That is probably one area of his game that Nick Kyrgios can rival the legends.
The Australian 20-year-old has the swagger of a man who believes he not only belongs with the game's elite, but thinks they owe him a bit as well.

Bilbo Fernandes: That German guy with dreadlocks... what's he called... Dustin Brown, that's it! Always likes a good trick shot.
Joe Shine: Definitely Roger Federer. In his prime, he was able to to pull off some insane shots

"Apart from the posh seats down the front, where jewellery is rattled, Lenglen is pretty much full now and lapping up the antics of Kyrgios in particular.
"Murray might appear to be a bit dour in comparison, decked out in black as opposed to luminous pink/orange and restricting his chatter to the standard self-admonishment, but the tennis is pretty special. The lob-backhand combination to break serve was the match of anything his opponent has come up with today."

Murray 6-4 4-2 Kyrgios*
The longest game of the match so far as the clock ticks on. But it is not heading much further.
Nick Kyrgios blocks a return long and then is left flailing at thin air by a ripped first serve up the tee. Murray was due one of those. He has been missing with a lot of his first darts off the baseline oche.

Andy Murray faces an awkward 15-30 and he is being given the runaround by some vicious Nick Kyrgios forehands.
Once those blockbuster shots get into a rally, they tend to overrun it like a virus. Murray succumbs and faces two break points.
A huge let-off. Kyrgios cuffs the ball long as he lines up an apparently simple winner. Murray was all but back on his chair. That is the lucky dip of Krygios's game though - you are going to get some booby prizes amid the nuggets.
Deuce. Another leaping, eye-watering forehand, another break point. Murray to the net to save. On we go.

The sequel is rarely as good as the original.
Nick Kyrgios breaks out the hot-dog again after Andy Murray chases and scampers to keep in the point, but this time it is over-cooked.
Murray with a break point at 30-40. Saved by an absolute whopper of a forehand out wide.
Another chance for the Scot from deuce and it is his chance to uncork some vintage groundstrokes. A crunching backhand down the line. There is a little doubt as to whether it has caught the line, but Kyrgios sportingly acknowledges that it is in after inspecting the whitewash, saving the umpire a job.

Andy Murray finds the angle to unlock the Nick Kyrgios defences, the Australian off balance on the final point after being forced to chase out wide.

"Talking to a few players and coaches, they feel the condition of the courts is making the ball bounce considerably lower than previous tournaments. That plays into the hands of Novak Djokovic and it's not a good thing for Rafa Nadal."

That Nick Kyrgios showreel is going to be feature length pretty soon.
One delicious pick-up half-volley off his shoelaces takes all the sting out of a Murray return and plops over for a lovely winner.
A hold to love.

Murray 6-4 1-1 Kyrgios*
Andy Murray falls off a backhand as the depth of a Nick Kyrgios return catches him by surprise. That takes us to deuce.
Kyrgios's baseline hitting is industrial grade stuff, but Murray's is the more accurate and tends to deny the Australian a solid base to get away his most powerful strokes.
That is a misjudgement from Murray though. A drop-shot as overcooked as the unwanted barbeque burger is run down by Kyrgios and slapped away.
A bit of cat and mouse on the final point and Murray delays and delays on a mid-court ball, trying to smoke out which way Kyrgios is going to gamble. It does the trick as the Scot plonks the ball into the open court.

"'I hate this place,' says Kyrgios towards his box after a call goes against him.
"It looked out from directly in line, but it was tight. Cue two brilliant winners and a killer drop shot. More chunter with the umpire, a bit of ball kid interaction. Murray could be moonwalking down the other end and nobody would notice."
Post update
*Murray 6-4 0-1 Kyrgios
Laser-like.
Nick Kyrgios absolutely flattens a forehand and then a backhand to make a sticky 0-30 a more comfortable 30-30.
Then a tickle of a drop-shot shows that he can do feather duster as well as cudgel.
Even Murray is impressed. "Good shot," he says almost instinctively as one of those groundstrokes streaks past him.

"One of most entertaining sets of tennis I've seen at Rolland Garros this week. There was some fantastic court play, but Murray is just too solid. Kyrgios is going to have to take any half chances and there were one or two there."

Some first sets stats for you and Nick Kyrgios is serving very decently indeed.
He is landing with 74% of first serves. Andy Murray can only muster 54%.

Amid the profanities, swaggering and costume tweaks, there are some absolute gems. One perfect read of Murray's intentions means he is able to play the most casual winning reply to the Scot's angled drop-shot.

Time to turn down the courtside mics.
Andy Murray has caught some of Nick Kyrgios's sweary antics, upbraiding himself as he offers up two break points at 15-40.
It was the pep talk that the Scot needed though. A glorious lob, after gambling which way Kyrgios would batter a forehand at 30-40, gets him off the hook.
Another gossamer touch at the net and the Scot is home and dry.

"There we have it, the 'tweener lob'.
"Kyrgios has all but one of the several thousand people on Lenglen captivated by a really magical shot, raising his arms in triumph. "He'll get broken here," is an early call in the press box and so it proves.
"There follows a sharp word for someone court side, a racquet on the dirt and lots of head shaking and water glugging as Kyrgios ponders what just happened."

"That was extraordinary. I've only ever seen that once before in a match, when Rafa Nadal hit a hotdog winner. It's an extraordinary shot.
"But you can do all that showboating - he just wasn't able to back it up. You have to have a layer under that top layer of gloss, and Kyrgios doesn't have it at the moment."

We've got the director's commentary with this Nick Kyrgios service game.
It is not always pre-watershed friendly though.
The Australian aims an expletive-laden tirade at himself after some ropey play gifts Murray the opening point.
But now he is in a better mood!
A between-the-legs reverse hotdog as he chases back to retrieve an Andy Murray lob, loops over the Scot's head and lands just inside the baseline.
Kyrgios throws his arms and head back to bask in the acclaim.
He may be captain of the showboat, but Murray has wrestled control of the game, stealing serve to move back a break ahead.

Murray 3-3 Kyrgios*
Andy Murray does seem to be in a bit of a funk.
He offers up a break point at 30-40, but a Nick Krygios error and a couple of barnstorming serves dig him out of a bit of a hole.

"There's a spider-cam above the court. Murray has been talking to the umpire saying he doesn't want to see it moving when he's throwing the ball up to toss. It's something he's complained about on this court before.
"Andy's definitely under pressure out here - there's a feeling that if he took his eye off the ball for one second he could be in trouble."
Post update
Andy Murray has bent the umpire's ear during the changeover about the overhead camera that is zipping about on a high wire above the court while he is trying to serve.
Seems a fair enough complaint to me. If you demand that the spectators stay still in the players' eyeline, the same rules should apply to the broadcasters.

*Murray 2-3 Kyrgios
Nick Kyrgios over-cooks a forehand to allow Andy Murray to deuce, but the youngster does not really do jitters.
He keeps banging away and Murray is lured long to concede the game.
Murray needs to find a way to stick a spanner in his spokes and break up his rhythm.
Changes of pace, slice-loaded backhand, dinks into the front court - they were all working well in the first few games. They have been missing in the last few though.

It may not be a gladiatorial arena, but Roland Garros has already served up some treats for us.
Most notably was Gael Monfils' marathon five-set win last night over Pablo Cuevas.
Frenchman Monfils has now gone to five sets in six of his last 11 matches at the French Open.

"Nick Kyrgios is nothing if not watchable. I swear he was trying to engage Andy Murray in conversation during the knock-up, shaking his head as the Briton missed a couple of looseners.
"There have already been apologies to the ball kids, blistering winners, wild errors, about four different adjustments to the baseball cap before its removal, and one loud whistle after a forehand nearly did for someone in row Z."

"Oh yes."
That is what I think an appreciative Andy Murray says as a Nick Kyrgios forehand whistles past him.
More brutish hitting off that wing from the Aussie, pure spitting venom, brings up 0-40 and three break points.
Murray scrapes two back with some precise serving, but the radar goes squiffy on the third.
Back to even stevens.

The two sides of the Kyrgios coin.
When it lands, his wham-bam tennis looks unstoppable.
When it goes awry, it looks like wasteful recklessness.
Down 15-40, trying to defend two break points, the Australian gifts Murray the first as he overreaches attempting to blast a second-serve ace.
A good foot beyond the service line and that is a gimme for the British number one.

"We've just seen an incredible backhand from Kyrgios. He's definitely showboating out here. Not many people could hit that backhand that perfectly.
"Kyrgios is exciting, he's got it all really. He's got an aura and I think we're seeing him at the launch-pad time of his career."
Post update
Murray 1-1 Kyrgios*
Andy Murray is lobbing plenty of slice and spin into the cocktail today. Kyrgios struggles to get a grip on those floaty backhands and delicate droppers and slips to 40-0.
But when you give the Australian a bit of bounce and angle to work with and a solid baseline platform to hit from, you are in trouble.
A hammer blow of a backhand buys Kyrgios a pass to deuce, but Murray snuffs out the danger.
Post update
*Murray 0-1 Kyrgios
As pre-serving tics go, I quite like Nick Kyrgios's habit of lobbing the ball against his head before launching into his action.
A double fault to allow Murray to 30-40 is less appealing.
Andy Murray spoke before the start of the match of having a game plan for Kyrgios. It looks like drop-shots are a big part of it.
Twice Murray exposes a little flat-footedness in the lanky Aussie with feather-soft dinks into the front court. How's Kyrgios' north-south movement on clay?
Kyrgios shuts the door from deuce though with a big slap of a forehand and a yelp of delight.

The most unexpected thing you could hear from Nick Kyrgios is "no comment".
The Australian was typically forthcoming when asked in a magazine interview about whether he abstains from, ahem, "bedroom activities" on the night before matches.
"I don't abide by that rule, I don't abide by that at all," he told GQ. earlier this week.
Well, he is looking fresh and spritely this morning. Take that as you will.
Kyrgios to serve.

"It's felt like a leisurely start to Saturday morning in the affluent surroundings of Roland Garros; dogs being walked, baguettes purchased and clay courts being watered.
"The latter is the scene on Court Suzanne Lenglen just five minutes before the scheduled start, but the players eventually drift out into a sparsely populated arena.
"Lenglen might be calm now but it is the beating heart of Roland Garros, and only last evening played host to the Gael Monfils show. Fast forward a couple of hours and it could get very lively again."

And here they are.
Nick Kyrgios emerges from the bowels of Suzanne Lenglen with pink puffy earphones clamped down over his ears and the racquet bag slung over his shoulders.
If Harry Enfield's Kevin the Teenager had been more into sport as a youngster, he could have been heading to Paris with an entourage of trainers rather than Ibiza with Perry.
Andy Murray, now something of an elder statesman, is more low-key, decked head to toe in business-like black and grey.

Wins like that make Nick Kyrgios big box-office down under.
And big box-office players needs prime-time slots rather than graveyards on Australian television.
So, the Aussie broadcasters have had a quiet word in the referee's office, and ensured that today's match gets first use of Court Suzanne Lenglen.
The players will be out to warm-up any moment...

"I think the greatest in every sport have an unbelievable amount of self-confidence."
That is probably one area of his game that Nick Kyrgios can rival the legends.
The Australian 20-year-old has the swagger of a man who believes he not only belongs with the game's elite, but thinks they owe him a bit as well.
And maybe he is right.
After memorably downing Rafael Nadal on Wimbledon's Centre Court last summer, he claimed another super-scalp with victory over Roger Federer on the Madrid clay earlier this month.
Next in his sights? Andy Murray.
