Nick Kyrgios has come back from a set down to beat Germany's Mischa Zverev 3-6, 6-2, 6-2 in the second round of China Open in Beijing.

The Australian was clearly furious on Wednesday when he lost the first set and smashed his racquet on the floor in anger. But, he fought back to win the next two sets in style. Kyrgios unleashed 11 aces in the match which lasted an hour and 22 minutes.

Up next for Kyrgios is Steve Darci of Belgium who overcame Serbia's Dusan Layovich 6-3, 6-4.

Meanwhile, Spain's Roberto Bautista Agut went through after Britain's Alyaz Bedene lost 10 games in a row before retiring with a knee problem.

And, Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria produced some of his best tennis to beat US Open semi-finalist Juan Martin del Potro 7-6, 7-5 to book his spot in the last 8.
