Former world number one Daniil Medvedev was eliminated by defending champion Alexei Pofyrin.
The Australian overcame the Russian 10th seed with a 5-7 6-4 6-4 victory to book a draw with Fifth Seed Holger Rune in the next round.

“I was sitting on the driver’s seat, I felt that I was really at ease there, and then something happened.
“I let go a bit and I started to feel my photos a bit. When that happens, when you play a fast pace against him, he starts to feel the ball a little more.”
