He lost to Alex Michelsen from the USA 6:7 (2:7), 3:6. Rudi Molleker did better afterwards, defeating the Italian qualifier Francesco Passaro 6:4, 6:2.

For the 23-year-old, currently number 179 in the world rankings, it was the first victory on the ATP tour in almost five years. He will face sixth-seeded Brit Jack Draper in the round of 16.

Number one seed Alexander Zverev, who like defending champion Holger Rune from Denmark (2nd), Taylor Fritz from the USA (3rd) and Jan-Lennard Struff (4th) has a bye in the first round, will play his opening match on Wednesday.

The two-time tournament winner, who appeared for training at the MTTC Iphitos facility on the first day, will face the Australian Aleksandar Vukic or the Austrian Jurij Rodionov.
