Precocious Australian Nick Kyrgios warmed up for an early season test against world number two Andy Murray with an impressive come-from-behind win on the opening day of the mixed teams Hopman Cup in Perth on Sunday. Kyrgios, 20, who raised eyebrows with his on-court behaviour last year, was too good for fellow young gun Alexander Zverev in a match played that played out at a frenetic pace. Kyrgios dropped the first set but steamed through the second two to beat the teenage German in just over an hour, 4-6, 6-1, 6-4. Kyrgios will face Murray when Australia Green -- one of two teams representing the host nation in the event -- plays Great Britain on Wednesday, at match he said he was keenly anticipating.
