23:19 CET - Holger Rune (20) was controversially aided by a wrong umpiring call in his win over Francisco Cerundolo (24) today.

The Dane commented on the event, "Some umpires make mistakes. Some for me, some for him. That's life." 

True words but a very bitter pill to swallow for Cerundolo.

"I'm sorry, playing Iga was my priority, I'm very sorry," Tsurenko told a press conference.

"I've had this virus for a couple of days and today it was tough for me to warm up and I hoped I would feel better during the match but unfortunately it got worse. My body could not take it."
