Rune, 20, is looking for the fifth title of his
ATP Tour career. He lost in the final at Brisbane, Australia,
last month.
In other second-round action, third-seeded Felix Auger-Aliassime
of Canada eked out a 7-5, 2-6, 7-6 (4) win over France's Arthur
Cazaux. Fourth-seeded Borna Coric of Croatia blitzed Spain's
Pedro Martinez 6-4, 6-0, and sixth-seeded Alexander Shevchenko
of Kazakhstan got past France's Gregoire Barrere 7-6 (3), 2-6,
6-3. Italy's Flavio Cobolli beat France's Constant Lestienne
6-4, 6-1.
The quarterfinals will feature an all-Kazakhstani matchup as
Shevchenko opposes second-seeded Alexander Bublik.
