The first set saw the break in the sixth game and Nole opened 5-2 to finish 6-3. In the sequence, you broke out in the second, made it 2 to 0, broke again later and gave no chances closing for 6/2 without getting scared.
His opponent in the round of 16 will be another Frenchman, Quentin Halys, 64th. The two have played only once, in 2016, at the Australian Open, with the Belgrade native triumphing.
