Kevin Anderson has had a dream debut at the ATP Finals so far. The South African is a perfect 2-0 with wins over Dominic Thiem and Kei Nishikori, both in straight sets.

His win over Thiem marked his first career match at the year-end championships in London, but his win over Nishikori was more impressive as it went 6-0, 6-1 in favor of Anderson. The match took just over an hour.

Nishikori had just beaten the remaining member of the Group Lleyton Hewitt, Roger Federer, for the first time in over four years.

The world No. 6-ranked Anderson is joined in London by his mom and his wife, Kelsey, who shared an inside look at the private locker rooms each player gets to feel cozy in.

The Andersons also shared some charitable news as they will donate $100 to support firefighting efforts in California.

Kevin Anderson is one of the biggest servers on tour—he hit 10 aces against Nishikori.
