In form doubles pair Kiwi Michael Venus and South African partner Raven Klaasen have cruised into the second round at the ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Cincinnati.
They've thrashed French pair Richard Gasquet and Adrian Mannarino in straight sets 6-1 6-2 in just 50 minutes.
Venus and Klaasen are coming off a finals appearance in the Masters 1000 tournament in Toronto on Monday after last month finishing runners up at Wimbledon.

Games went with serve until the fifth game of the second set when Gasquet was broken. After Venus held serve for 4-2 he made a backhand volley in the next game to break Mannarino and Klaasen served out the match.
