All matches begin at 1 p.m. local time, 6 a.m. BST/1 a.m. ET, per the ATP official website.
Sock had trouble dealing with the Gojowczyk serve. The latter boomed 17 aces and won 83 percent of points available on his first serve, per the ATP official website.
Those numbers showed why Gojowczyk was able to protect his serve and save four of five break points.
Although Sock managed to rescue the second set on a tiebreak, the 26-year-old was ultimately outclassed in the third.
Chardy didn't quite ease into the second round, but he was still impressive en route to setting up a meeting with Djokovic. The Frenchman sauntered through the opening set to beat Maximilian Marterer with three games to spare.
Things were tougher in the second, with Marterer forcing a tiebreak. It was edged by Chardy, who held his serve without a break throughout the match.
Mischa Zverev will rue unforced errors from his match with Nicolas Jarry. The latter leaned on a formidable service game as he smashed 18 aces.
Jarry took the first set without too many problems, dropped the second and then forced a tiebreak in the third. The Chilean finished the job to book his place in the next round where he'll face Marin Cilic.
Khachanov overcame losing the first set to rally in the next two against Johnson. A trio of break points padded Khachanov's numbers and put him in a commanding position as the match progressed.
The Russian will meet the winner of Monday's meeting between Gael Monfils and Stefanos Tsitsipas in Round 2.
