The road gets significantly tougher for the duo from here, however – Tomic lines up against seventh seed David Ferrer in round two, while Kyrgios has set up a second-round meeting with Kei Nishikori, the No.6 seed.

Meanwhile, four Aussie women are in action this week at the Prudential Hong Kong Tennis Open.

Sam Stosur, seeded fifth, and Daria Gavrilova (sixth) lead the charge and are joined in the main draw by Jarmila Gajdosova and Anastasia Rodionova.
