Although some of the first-round matches started already on Sunday at the 2020
Sofia Open, the main action will kick-off on Monday with 7 matches from the main draw.
The action will be kicked-off by the seventh-seeded Nikoloz Basilashvili and Stefano Travaglia. Despite being the seeded player, Basilashvili is a big outsider in this match as he's currently on a 22-set losing streak. Since returning to the courts after the ATP Tour suspension, he hasn't won a single set.
Then, the fifth-seeded in Bulgaria, Adrian Mannarino will meet a lucky loser from Slovakia, Martin Klizan. Another match featuring a lucky loser will be a match between
Vasek Pospisil and Ilya Marchenko who didn't succeed in the qualifiers draw.
Later in the day, second Bulgarian of the tournament will step on the court. After yesterday's loss of Adrian Andreev, Dimitar Kuzmanov will try to get a first-round win for his country where the tournament is played. In the last match of the day,
Marin Cilic will take on Jonas Forejtek.
