Ill-treated by an uninhibited Englishman, 'Nole' appeared far from his best tennis, making a few too many mistakes and lacking percussion in the exchange.
Fortunately for him, he came through the match on the strength of his experience, and will now progress to the 3rd round, where he will face Alexei Popyrin, winner of Etcheverry (3-6, 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3).
