Eighth seed and 2012 champion David Ferrer required just one hour to beat Alexandr Dolgopolov 6-2, 6-2 on Tuesday for a place in the BNP Paribas Masters third round. Ferrer, who has already qualified for the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, is now 53-12 on the season that includes five ATP World Tour titles. He will next face 12th seed Marin Cilic or Grigor Dimitrov.

Qualifier Edouard Roger-Vasselin closed Ivo Karlovic‘s season, ending the Croat’s hopes of breaking Goran Ivanisevic‘s record of 1,477 aces set in 1996. Roger-Vasselin won 4-6, 7-6(1), 7-6(5) in two hours and 13 minutes. Karlovic, who served for the match at 5-4 in the decider, struck 29 aces to finish 2015 with 1,447 aces. Roger-Vasselin now faces fifth seed and 2005 titlist Tomas Berdych.

When Roger-Vasselin was asked whether he knew Karlovic had lost his last 10 deciding set tie-breaks, the Frenchman admitted, “I didn’t know. It was better for me not to know that. I played the whole match in the same way, serve and volley on my first serve. I didn’t change anything in the way I played the tie-break.”
