The Brit is yet to lock horns with either player on the ATP tour till date and will be facing off against the winner for the first time in his career. A win in the second round would most likely pit him against third seed Roberto Bautista Agut in the quarterfinals, while second seed Pablo Carreno Busta is expected to be the semifinal opponent.
