From then on, momentum seemed to be with the Argentinian, who hit ten aces during the course of the match, ultimately wrapping proceedings up in one hour 30 minutes.

It was another nail-biter of a match between Spain's Fernando Verdasco and Gael Monfils of France. The Spaniard needed two tiebreaks to take the match 2-6, 7-6 (3), 7-6 (5) in two hours, 26 minutes.

Verdasco goes on to take on Georgian contender Nikoloz Basilashvili, who also needed three sets to take out No. 6 American Jack Sock 7-6 (6), 5-7, 6-2.

Other action saw Italian qualifier Matteo Berrettini down Argentina's Leonardo Mayer in straight sets: 6-3, 6-2. Berrettini faces No. 5 seed Kyle Edmund of Britain, who moved into the third round in yesterday's action.

Finally, the last match of the night saw No. 2 seed Alexander Zverev defeat Roberto Bautista Agut in straight sets: 6-4, 6-4.

Some round-of-32 action continues tomorrow, with other matches in the third round also on tap.
