A stroll in the park for Nole in his opener. It took only 70 minutes for the Serb to beat Montanes in straigh, smooth sets.
Nole broke Montanes 4 times to drop just one service game to comment “It was a good performance for a start, even though I know I can do better,”
“I know my game has to be better in order to win my next challenge. But I’m heading in a good way because I didn’t have a great week in Madrid and didn’t have much practice.
Next round
Nole will play next either vs. Dolgolopov (6-4 6-3 on Viola) or Wawrinka (5-7 6-3 6-3 on Berlocq).
