ATP roundup: David Goffin returns from injury and triumphs in Gstaad

One tennis veteran prevailed, while another succumbed as first round play continued at the EFG Swiss Open Gstaad in Switzerland on Tuesday.

No. 6 Belgian David Goffin, 34, returned to action after suffering a foot injury two months ago and outlasted 19-year old Martin Landaluce of Spain, 7-6 (2), 6-3, in windy conditions on the clay. However, three-time Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka, the Swiss native who turned 40 in March, fell to Kazakhstan's Alexander Shevchenko, 6-3, 6-2.

In a match-up of Argentinians, No. 7 Francisco Comesana took out qualifier Marco Trungelliti, 6-3, 6-4. But another seeded player, No. 8 Arthur Rinderknech of France, fell to Italian qualifier Francesco Passaro, 6-1, 7-5. Rinderknech defeated Alexander Zverev two weeks ago at Wimbledon.

Nordea Open

Seventh-seeded Damir Dzumhur and eighth-seeded Vit Kopriva both cruised to straight set victories in their first round matches at the Nordea Open in Bastad, Sweden on Tuesday.

Dzumhur, a 33-year old veteran from Bosnia-Herzgovina, defeated Sebastian Ofner of Austria, 6-4, 6-4. Trailing 4-1 in the second set, Dzumhur broke Ofner twice, rattling off the final five games of the match. Kopriva, a native of Czechia, overwhelmed Hugo Dellien, 6-1, 3-0, before the Bolivian was forced to retire.

Swede Elias Ymer, who earned a wild card into the tournament, delighted the home crowd by taking out Tristan Boyer, 6-3, 3-6, 6-2.
