Later in the afternoon, Switzerland’s Remy Bertola, who entered the tournament as an alternate, continued his impressive run by defeating compatriot Marc-Andrea Huesler 6-1, 6-4. Bertola was in control throughout, racing through the first set and maintaining his composure in the second to close out a straight-sets victory in just 56 minutes.
