In-form Russian seventh seed Daniil Medvedev also reached the

faces unseeded Italian Andreas Seppi next after he served up the day’s only
bagel en route to beating Japanese qualifier Taro Daniel 6-0 6-4.
Australian teenager Alexei Popyrin claimed his first main draw
victory on the ATP Tour as the qualifier got the better of a tussle with
