two hours and 28 minutes, picking up his fifth win this season
over an opponent ranked in the Top 30 (Garin is No. 22). The

who was leading 7-6 (7) when South Africa's Kevin Anderson
retired with a left adductor injury.

No. 7 seed Albert Ramos-Vinolas facing No. 8 Alejandro
Davidovich Fokina. Ramos-Vinolas beat Frenchman Corentin Moutet
6-4, 6-3 and Davidovich Fokina ousted No. 3 seed Ugo Humbert of
