The Danish world number six, who topped the first round, unexpectedly fell to 53rd-ranked Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic 6–7 (3–7), 2–6 in the second round.
— I played very well today and I’m very happy. It is special to beat such a highly ranked player, I have been close before, but now I was finally able to do it, says Kecmanovic in SVT’s broadcast.
The Serb is thus ready for the quarter-finals on Friday and there may be Swedish opposition. Elias Ymer will meet qualifier Dino Prizmic, Croatia, in the second round on Thursday and the winner will face Kecmanovic on Friday in the Royal Tennis Hall.
