Key matches

Adrian Mannarino Def. Matteo Berrettini 7-5, 7-6 (5)

Adrian Mannarino exceeded Matteo Berrettini in a high quality, two-set battle. Mannarino’s flat ground and clutch games at great moments turned out to be crucial, and he has really turned his season after a bad start.

It looked like he was very much on the decline, but the other half of the year has produced some solid results, and he only lost 9 points on serving today against the former semi -finalist.

David Goffin Def. Alexandre Muller 6-7 (6), 6-1, 6-1

David Goffin delivered the comeback to Alexandre Muller, rally from a narrow first-set loss where he wasted a stock market value before finding his rhythm, earned 13 ESS and shot 38 winners to move to round two.

Marin Cilic Def. Nikoloz Basilashvili 6-3, 7-6 (5)

Former US Open Champion Marin Cilic snapped a five match losing line with a commanding victory over the qualifier Nikoloz Basilashvili.

Cilic had a thriving service day, and Basiliashvili also played its role, but it was the Croat that came up the connection. Basiliashvili will be disappointed not to force a decision because he found some momentum in the set two but Cilic is in round 2 where he will meet Djokovic.
