READ MORE
James Duckworth has scored a crucial win at the Citi Open in Washington as he tries to claw his way back up the ATP rankings.
The Australian, who was once ranked 82 in the world, has slipped to No.654 after a prolonged absence on tour due to foot, shoulder and elbow surgeries.
The 26-year-old Sydneysider beat local Thai-Son Kwiatkowski 6-3, 7-5 to set up a second round encounter with compatriot Nick Kyrgios.
Kyrgios is the tournament’s No.5 seed and received a bye into the next round.
In a closely fought affair, Duckworth sent down 13 aces to Kwiatkowski’s 12 and clinched the only two break points of the match.
