Tsonga only lasted 57 minutes in his match against the American Taylor Fritz and had to congratulate his opponent on progressing 4: 6 and 0: 2. As a result, the comeback of the former top ten player continues to make slow progress, even though Tsonga reached the semi-finals of the ATP Tour 250 tournament in Marrakech last week. Marin Cilic was also eliminated. The Croatian lost to Guido Pella in a game of the second round with 3: 6, 7: 5 and 1: 6.
Félix Auger-Aliassime won against Juan Ignacio Londero. The Canadian teenager already served in the second set at 5: 3 on the match, missed two chances to win early, but managed to finish after almost two hours of play and a 7: 5 and 7: 6 (5). Auger-Aliassime will play against Alexander Zverev on Wednesday. The German was one of the first eight on the seed list in round one to have a walk-through.
