Bedene then got the better of Nikola Milojevic 7-5, 2-6, 6-1, 7-6 again in four sets in the second round.
On the other hand, Tsitsipas again showed why he is rated so high after a shoddy performance in the Round of 128. The 22-year old Greek was two sets-to-love down before making a miraculous comeback to beat Jaume Munar 4-6, 2-6, 6-1, 6-4, 6-4 in the opening round, However, the World No.6 did not face such problem in the next round as he breezed past veteran Pablo Cuevas in straight sets 6-1, 6-4, 6-2.
