Spain's Roberto Bautista Agut came from behind to defeat Hungary's Fabian Marozsan 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 (4), in the only three-set match of the day.

Winning in straight sets were Alexei Popyrin of Australia, Russia's Karen Khachanov, Zizou Bergs of Belgium and Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard of France.

Cristian Garin gave his hometown fans something to cheer about, rallying for a 2-6, 6-4, 6-4 win over Argentine qualifier Juan Pablo Ficovich in the first round at Santiago, Chile.

In other opening-round action, qualifier Gustavo Heide downed Thiago Seyboth Wild 7-5, 6-2 in an all-Brazilian matchup. Germany's Yannick Hanfmann topped Argentina's Facundo Diaz Acosta 7-5, 6-3, and Serbia's Laslo Djere eliminated Peru's Ignacio Buse 6-4, 6-3.
