–

Vasek Pospisil lost his final round of qualifying to veteran Marius Copil.

But as the No. 2 seed, he wa able to get in as a lucky loser and will play Tallon Griekspoor in the first round on Tuesday.

There were plenty of marathon matches on the first day – none more of interest than Dominic Thiem getting through another one, against the capable Laslo Djere.
