The American survived two match points while winning for the first time since the U.S. Open, where he bowed out in the third round with a left shoulder injury. The 23-year-old, who hit 13 aces without a double fault, was a finalist in Switzerland last year. Wildcard home favourite Stan Wawrinka got the crowd roaring as the 40-year-old veteran got the best of Miomir Kecmanovic in straight sets. The Swiss breezed through the first set, but the second went to a tiebreak before he could wrap it up 6-1 7-6(3) in an hour and 24 minutes. On the other side of the age spectrum, 19-year-old Brazilian sensation Joao Fonesca dispatched Frenchman Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard in straight sets, 7-6(6) 6-3. And finally, ninth-seeded Denis Shapovalov of Canada was a 6-7(3) 6-0 7-6(4) winner over American Marcos Giron, while fellow American Reilly Opelka earned a 6-3 6-4 victory over Sebastian Baez of Argentina.
