Earlier in the day Slovakia's Lukas Lacko, who stepped in after an exhausted Roger Federer withdrew, overcame Israel's Harel Levy 7-6 (8-6) 6-2 to book a second-round meeting with Andreas Beck.
Fifth-seeded Tomas Berdych beat Guillaume Rufin of France 6-2, 6-2, 6-4 and eighth-seeded Janko Tipsarevic beat Lukas Lacko 6-3, 6-4, 3-6, 4-6, 7-5 in a match that lasted nearly four hours.
The World No.3 was on control from the start against Lacko, breaking him twice on the way to taking the opening set and then continuing the good work in the second.
