NICK Kyrgios has sealed a memorable Wimbledon debut, roaring into the All England Club's second round.
The Canberra teenager plundered French veteran Stephane Robert's wobbly serve to advance 7-6 (7-2) 7-6 (7-1) 6-7 (6-8) 6-2.
The 19-year-old provided Australia with its sixth first-round winner, the nation's best haul since 2007.
The wiry right-hander, 19, hit 29 aces and 61 winners while feasting on Robert's 19 double faults and 59 unforced errors to progress.
It is the third time the highly-rated youngster has reached the second round of a major, emulating career-best efforts at last year's French Open and January's Australian Open.
He will now play either French 13th seed Richard Gasquet or Sydney's James Duckworth for a place in the third round.
Wearing pink headphones and with his left knee taped, Kyrgios gradually eased his way into the contest, serving with menace and moving comfortably.
The teenager controlled the first set tiebreak by forcing Robert into unforced error.
Playing first strike tennis, Krygios maintained impressive momentum to clinch the second set before drifting concentration allowed Robert back into the contest.
Up a break, the young Australian dropped serve but he immediately atoned by breaking straight back.
Despite Robert's penchant for double-faulting, Kyrgios was unable break the Frenchman's shackles.
He led the third set tiebreak 4-2 only to be reeled in, allowing Robert to push the match into a fourth set with a wondrous backhand pass.
Once there, Kyrgious pulled away with a blend of raw power and Robert's repeated errors.
French 14th seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga outlasted Austrian Jurgen Melzer 6-1 3-6 3-6 6-2 6-4 in a rain-delayed affair.
Australian Open champion Stan Wawrinka breezed to a 6-3 6-4 6-3 win over Taipei's Yen-Hsun Lu.
Japanese 10th seed Kei Nishikori dispatched Frenchman Kenny de Schepper 6-4 7-6 (7-5) 7-5.
