Dzumhur, Lorenzi Kick Off Inaugural Budapest Tournament

Bosnian Damir Dzumhur came back from a set down against Belgian Steve Darcis 3-6, 6-2, 6-2 to kick off day one of the inaugural Gazprom Hungarian Open on Monday. Dzumhur will face second-seeded Croatian Ivo Karlovic in round two. Karlovic won their prior FedEx ATP Head2Head meeting in three sets in Vienna last year.

Sixth seed Paolo Lorenzi advanced 6-4, 7-5 against Mikhail Kukushkin of Kazakhstan. Lorenzi won 74 per cent of his first-serve points and will meet Ukraine’s Sergiy Stakhovsky or German Florian Mayer in the second round.

Seventh seed Viktor Troicki swept Russian Evgeny Donskoy, the only man to beat Roger Federer this year, 6-1, 6-2 in 53 minutes. The 31-year-old Serbian faces Serbian qualifier Laslo Djere, who moved into the second round when #NextGenATP player Daniil Medvedev retired because of a left leg injury down 0-6, 5-5.
