 22:46 CET - Mirra Andreeva (17) secured a really impressive win over Emma Navarro (23), crushing her American opponent 6-2, 6-2 in a little over an hour.

22:24 CET - Just days after his shock Masters victory in Montreal, Alexei Popyrin (25) has fallen 5-7, 3-6 to veteran Frenchman Gael Monfils (37).

22:12 CET - Brit Jack Draper (22) surived an almighty challenge from Jaume Munar (27), eventually snatching a 7-5, 3-6, 7-6(5) victory. 

Liudmila Samsonova (25) had it far easier, beating Xinyu Wang (22) 6-4, 6-4 in an hour and a half.

21:26 CET - World No.1 Jannik Sinner (22) was nowhere near his best, but the Italian still moved into the second round of Cincinnati with a testing 6-4, 7-5 win over American Alex Michelsen (19).

20:36 CET - In one of the heavyweight clashes of the first round, Holger Rune (21) overcame Matteo Berrettini (28) 2-6, 6-1, 6-4.

20:22 CET - Leylah Fernandez (21) didn't have it all her own way, but in the end, the Canadian came from a set behind to beat Yue Yuan (25) 3-6, 6-4, 6-3.

19:19 CET - Stefanos Tsitsipas (26) battled from a set and a break down to overcome Jan-Lennard Struff (34) 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, but the Greek looked far from convincing against his German opponent.  

Anna Kalinskaya (25) also fought back against Katerina Siniakova (28), winning 1-6, 6-2, 6-3. The Russian will be hoping to stay fit in Cincinnati after suffering an injury in Toronto last week.
