Australians Jordan Thompson, Alex Bolt and Christopher O'Connell have eased the disappointment of local hero Thanasi Kokkinakis's opening-night defeat by posting first-round wins at the Adelaide International.
Thompson, who sensationally saved three match points last week to stun the great Rafael Nadal in Brisbane, had far fewer issues dispatching inexperienced Argentinean left-hander Facundo Diaz Acosta 6-2 6-2 on Tuesday.
