Dimitrov, Cilic dumped in Europe

The first round in both Vienna and Basel was completed, and a few second round matches were also played. 

Two seeds fell in each tournament

ATP Vienna 

First round matches

• Karen Khachanov defeated wildcard Dennis Novak 6-3 7-5
• Kyle Edmund (8) defeated Diego Schwartzman 6-3 7-6(3)
• Gaël Monfils defeated Steve Johnson 4-6 6-3 6-2

Monfils struck 18 aces and won 80% of points on his first delivery in a dominant serving performance 

• Qualifier Mikhail Kukushkin defeated Grigor Dimitrov (3) 6-4 4-6 6-4

This was the first win over a top ten player for Kukushkin in four years, and only the third from 36 tries.  He won 73% of points on serve and saved eight of nine break points.

He could have made things easier on himself had he converted more of the chances presented to him - 2 from 18 is not the best return.

Second round matches 

• Marton Fucsovics defeated Fabio Fognini (7) 4-6 6-3 6-2
• Kevin Anderson (2) received a walkover from wildcard Jürgen Melzer 
• Borna Coric (6) defeated Lucas Pouille 4-6 6-0 6-4
