In other action, sixth seed Fabio Fognini ousted countryman Stefano Travaglia 7-5, 6-2 in one hour and 26 minutes. The nine-time ATP Tour titlist went winless in two previous ATP Head2Head meetings against Travaglia, but he broke serve four times to advance.

Fognini helped Italy to the ATP Cup final last month and then reached the fourth round of the Australian Open, where he lost against Rafael Nadal. The World No. 17 will play Cameron Norrie for a spot in the quarter-finals, after the Brit's 6-3, 6-3 win over Stefan Kozlov.

Fabulous Fabio: Few players strike the ball as cleanly as Fabio Fognini, and the second seed will try to show some of that this week at this ATP 250. The Italian, who will start his run against Jaume Munar or a qualifier, has enjoyed success in Spain before. In 2015, Fognini upset Rafael Nadal in Barcelona. He also lifted the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters trophy in 2019.
