Jiri Vesely cruised into the second round of the 2016 TEB BNP Paribas Istanbul Open on Tuesday, beating Thiemo de Bakker 6-3, 7-5.

The sixth-seeded Vesely needed just over 90 minutes to get past the Dutchman on a cold and windy day in Istanbul. Per tennis writer Ricky Dimon, officials struggled to keep warm throughout the day:



Marcel Granollers beat local wildcard Cem Ilkel, while Karen Khachanov continued his strong form with a three-set win over Aljaz Bedene. Here’s a look at Tuesday’s full results:

Tennis writer Jake Davies was impressed:



Granollers’ play was smooth and crisp, and he took plenty of risks in the return game, winning more than 70 percent of the points on Ilkel’s first serve.

The local favourite made some adjustments at the start of the second set, however, putting more spin and less depth on his serve and opting to engage Granollers in the rallies.

The set eventually came down to a tie-break, where Granollers’ experience made the difference, as he kept things simple and eventually booked his spot in the next round.

Vesely used a secure first serve to put pressure on De Bakker early and dominated from the base line, holding serve throughout the match...
