South African Haris defeated Italy’s Marco Cecchinato 6-4, 7-5, 6-2. In the second round, he will face the Belgian big one, David Goffin.

However, it’s over for Kevin Anderson. The 2017 US Open finalist was knocked out in the first round on Sunday.

The same outcome for Egyptian Mohamed Safwat.He fell down in front of Frenchman, Gilles Simon (1-6, 4-6, 4-6). It was the first appearance of an Egyptian on the tournament’s main table since 1996.
