Khachanov was forced to fight back in the opening set against Serbian talent Krajinovic, but the world No. 18 impressively closed out the match.

Krajinovic held a 5-3 advantage at one stage in the first set, but his opponent was resolute as he denied set point.

Khachanov pushed on to win the opener 7-5 and cantered into the next round as he took the final set with ease.

Krajinovic's serve had matched the Russian's, but the Serb couldn't find his rhythm to capture vital points.

No. 12 seed Edmund will now meet Khachanov in a mouthwatering tie Tuesday.

Johnson was always one step behind Agut in their battle, with the Spaniard edging out the world No. 36.

The American has always faltered in his matches against Agut, and it was a repeat performance as the 30-year-old prevailed 6-4, 7-6 (2).

No. 14 seed Tsitsipas will meet Dzumhur in the next round. Dzumhur was too strong for Gojowczyk, claiming their contest in straight sets.

Dzumhur was clinical on his first serve, winning 85 per cent of his points, with Gojowczyk struggling to keep the pace despite a valiant effort.

Gasquet was consistent as he beat Shapovalov in straight sets, but it was the Canadian teenager who lacked bite as he crashed out.

The 19-year-old collected 10 double faults in the contest, with the Frenchman leaning on his experience to cross the winning line.
