Second-seeded Tallon Griekspoor of the Netherlands also stumbled in the second round as Hungary's Marton Fucsovics posted a 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 win. Third-seeded Luciano Darderi of Italy squandered a match point in the second-set tiebreaker before eventually topping Mackenzie McDonald 7-6 (5), 6-7 (6), 6-4.

The Netherlands' Botic Van De Zandschulp ousted sixth-seeded Matteo Arnaldi of Italy 6-3, 6-3. Eighth-seeded Alexandre Muller and ninth-seeded Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, both of France, earned three-set victories. Tenth-seeded Sebastian Baez of Argentina, 12th-seeded Jaume Munar of Spain, 13th-seeded Miomir Kecmanovic of Serbia and 14th-seeded Roberto Bautista Agut of Spain also advanced.

Serbia's Hamad Medjedovic defeated 15th-seeded Jacob Fearnley of Great Britain 6-4, 7-6 (2).

In the last match of the night, fifth-seeded Lorenzo Sonego of Italy took on Wake Forest product Stefan Dostanic, who is ranked 412th in the world.
