in a second-round match in Kitzbuhel, Austria.
Berrettini collected 31 winners and will move on to face Nicolas
Moreno De Alboran of the United States, who downed fellow wild
card Lukas Neumayer of Austria 6-4, 6-4. Like Berrettini,
France's Hugo Gaston ousted a seeded foe, besting Spanish
seventh seed Roberto Carballes Baena 6-2, 7-6 (5).
No. 1 seed Sebastian Baez of Argentina and Spain's Pedro
Martinez, the No. 4 seed, warded off upsets. Other winners

Wild and Argentina's Facundo Diaz Acosta.
