Big-serving pair Marin Cilic and John Isner were the two highest-ranked players to progress on Monday at the Shanghai Rolex Masters in China.

The man from the United States was a comfortable winner over Adrian Mannarino, while Cilic had it much harder in his match against Di Wu, eventually progressing after battling back from a set down and saving a match point. Feliciano Lopez and Jo Wilfried-Tsonga also secured their respective places in Round 2 with victories.

Here’s a recap of the results from China and a roundup of all the key moments from an intriguing opening day at this prestigious event.



 

Isner, Cilic into Last 16

With none of the elite seeds beginning their tournament on Monday, there was a chance to see some of the players considered to be outsiders for the title get their competition underway.

Cilic found things tough from the off in his tie against wild card Wu. The former U.S. Open champion suffered a break of serve in the very first game of the match, and some sloppy shots saw him unable to build momentum, allowing Wu to take the opening stanza 6-4.



Still, Cilic is made of stern stuff, and after a mess of an opening set, he responded well, taking the second 6-3.

From that point on, Wu could have rolled over, but he recovered well from an early break and continued to play with aggression before a supportive local crowd—even fashioning a match point, which Cilic saved with an ace.

Eventually, the decider went to a tiebreak and Cilic's experience shone through, winning it by a 7-4 scoreline.

Earlier in the day, Isner enjoyed a routine win. Mannarino is a dangerous opponent capable of putting together spells of blistering tennis, but the American gave him absolutely nothing to feed off during this contest, romping to a lopsided 6-1, 6-2 victory.
