In the first match Janko Tipsarevic, who qualified for the tournament through the so-called Protected Ranking, played against Dzumhur. The former world number eight, who announced retirement after Davis Cup in Madrid, gave up the match in the third set.
In the second match, Carballes Baena outplayed Martin Klizan in an hour and a half after two sets of 6-2 and 7-5. Klizan added 6th loss in a row to his account which makes already 10 losses in the last 11 matches.
This was followed by a successful evening for the home Russians, when first Donskoy managed to win and then Rublev continued successful evening for home spectators. Donskoy won his match much more clearly by winning over Viola 6-2 and 6-1 after more than an hour.
Although Andrey Rublev had to turn the match with Ivashka after losing the first set, he won the match 4-6, 6-0 and 6-4. The Russian followed the great form from the tournaments in the US, where he defeated, among others, Roger Federer.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
