(Reuters) - Getting a jump at the start proved decisive in the opening races of the 36th America's Cup but Friday's second day of action could see more see-sawing battles between Team New Zealand and Luna Rossa.

Each team claimed a win on Wednesday, capitalising on a mistake by their opponent before the start of each race and then holding the lead to the finish.
