Day 2 at the 2020 Open Sud de France in Montpellier brought a lot of action as it also featured the match of the 5th-seeded Felix Auger-Aliassime.

Despite the efforts of the young Italian, Ymer managed to win the match in just two sets. Another promising talent, Emil Ruusuvuori will also play in the second round after defeating Dennis Novak.

The play was closed by the biggest star of the day. World number 21, Felix Auger-Aliassime faced Damir Dzumhur.
