Surprise in Rotterdam: Hubert Hurkacz , who was fourth, had to give up in the second lap. The world number eleven from Poland lost to Italian Lorenzo Musseti 3:6, 7:5 and 3:6. The 19-year-old now meets Botic van de Zandschulp or Jiri Lehecka in the quarter-finals.

Alex de Minaur is also already in the last eight. The Australian defeated Mackenzie McDonald 7: 6 (6), 1: 6 and 6: 4. He could face top seed Stefanos Tsitsipas on Friday. For that, the Greek would have to beat Ilya Ivashka in the round of 16.

In the first round, Tsitsipas survived some tricky moments against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina on Tuesday . The same happened to Felix Auger-Aliassime, who was placed third, a day later. An at best average performance was enough for the Canadian to beat Egor Gerasimov 3: 6, 6: 2 and 6: 2.

An even greater challenge awaits Auger-Aliassime in round two: Andy Murray beat Montpellier champion Alexander Bublik, who had given Alexander Zverev no chance in the final in France , 7: 6 (6) and 6 in the first match of the evening session: 4 and now challenges the Australian Open quarterfinalists on Thursday.
