After his severe cold in Montreal, Richard is back in Cincinnati. In the first round he beat Nick Kyrgios 6-2 6-1, followed by a win over Thanasi Kokkinakis 7-6 6-2. His next opponent is Marin Cilic.

The match against Kyrgios was one way traffic. Whether the Australian was really injured or just wanted to get out of the heat he himself had created will probably never be fully known. He played all or nothing and that resulted more often than not in unforced errors. Richard scored his 6-2 6-1 victory in less than an hour.

Kokkinakis gave him more problems, also because Richard started rather slowly. The set went to a breaker and Kokkinakis was 4*-1 up. But Richard could get back both minibreaks, the Aussie got another one, Richard played a great drop shot to get back to 5 all. Kokkinakis made a double fault and Richard converted his first set point.

The second set was a combination of Richard playing better and Kokkinakis dropping his level. Richard converted his breakpoints and won the match 7-6 6-2.
