Monday Recap
It was a relaxed affair at the Caja Magica as No. 9 seed Goffin was in cruise control against Khachanov.
The Belgian defeated his Russian opponent after losing to him in Barcelona just two weeks ago.
Khachanov was forced to survive two match points late in the second, but he finally was beaten in a tie-breaker in his debut at the tournament.
Goffin has been in splendid form in recent months and he will be hoping to travel deep into the competition on Spanish soil.
Seeded players Jack Sock and Gael Monfils crashed out at the first hurdle, defeated by Nicolas Mahut and Gilles Simon, respectively.
After losing the first, Sock won the second 6-0, but he couldn't complete a comeback and lost the final set on a tie-breaker.
Sock won 75 per cent of his first serves including eight aces, but his failure to convert break points cost him dearly.
Dimitrov and Berdych gave impressive performances as they comfortably progressed in Spain.
Berdych served 10 aces as he aggressively advanced, disposing of Istomin in a ruthless manner.
The big stars of the competition are in action in the coming days, with Murray, Nadal and Djokovic all in action after receiving first-round byes.
