Second seed Marin Cilic was made to work for his place in the quarter-finals at the Shenzhen Open on Thursday but eventually beat Australia's John Millman in three sets in the second round.

The Croat eventually came through 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 but it took him almost two hours to see off the threat of the world No. 75.

Elsewhere, Britain's Aljaz Bedene was thrashed 6-2, 6-0 by Hyeon Chung, and the Czech Republic's Lukas Rosol was beaten with relative ease by fourth seed Guillermo Garcia-Lopez.

Here are the full results from Thursday's action in China and a closer look at how things panned out in the four matches.



Full results and the updated draw are available via the ATP website.

 

Cilic Works Hard for Opening Win 

Having been given a bye through the first round as the No. 2 seed, Cilic was playing his first match in the 2015 Shenzhen Open on Thursday, and it was far from a breeze.

The 2014 U.S. Open champion started well. Two breaks of serve saw Cilic to a 6-3 victory in the opener, and he looked set to cruise into the quarter-finals.

However, Millman came out fighting in the second set and began to move his opponent around the court, forcing a number of errors.



The Australian pounced on the only break point he was given and did enough to hold on to his own serve to take the match into a third set.

Millman just couldn't keep up the intensity, though, and world No. 14 Cilic showed his quality to see out the third set and book a place in the last eight.

There he will face Korean teenager Chung, who took out British No. 2 Bedene in just 55 minutes on Thursday.

The No. 7 seed's first serve was fairly dismal and the 19-year-old took full advantage, taking the first set 6-2 before pummelling Bedene 6-0 in the second in an impressive performance.
