Spain’s Jaume Munar will be the only exception in the clay court tournament after beating Brazil’s Thiago Monteiro on Friday 6-3, 3-6, 6-2. Munar’s next rival will be home-crowd favorite Nicolas Jarry, who beat Yannick Hanfmann of Germany 3-6, 6-3, 6-4.

Baez overcame Laslo Djere 7-6 (4), 6-4. Etcheverry eliminated another Serbian player, Dusan Lajovic, 6-1, 6-2.
