The main draw of the 2016 Rogers Cup in Toronto kicked off Monday with men's singles action.

John Isner, Nick Kyrgios, Jack Sock and Bernard Tomic were the four ranked players to take the court on the first day, with Novak Djokovic, Kei Nishikori, Milos Raonic and Stan Wawrinka among those to come later in the week.

Below is a brief overview of how Monday's first-round play unfolded and a look ahead to Tuesday:

He committed 18 double-faults and was his own worst enemy. The 21-year-old is immensely talented, but he's in a similar position to where Andy Murray was early in his career. Foolish errors and inconsistency have prevented him from reaching his peak.

Kyrgios has time to turn his career around, and perhaps Monday's defeat can serve as a wake-up call.

Isner advanced to the next round but not without a fight from Dudi Sela. Sela pushed the American to three sets before falling. In the end, the Israeli journeyman had no answer for Isner's serve.

The heavy-hitting American collected 15 aces and lost just five of his 52 first-service points. Isner didn't give Sela any openings on his second serve, either, winning a respectable 50 percent (11 of 22) of his second-service points and committing one double-fault.

Little separated Tomic and Alejandro Gonzalez...
