No. 21 seed Jack Sock of the USA has never gone beyond the fourth round at a Major in the singles, but this time saw one of his earliest losses in recent years. The 24-year-old lost in straight sets to Czech player Jiri Vesely.

Vesely, the World No. 57, would go on to beat Briton Aljaz Bedene – ranked higher than him at 52 – in four sets, before eventually losing the same way to 17^th seed Roberto Bautista Agut.

Bautista Agut in turn lost his Round of 16 match to Rafael Nadal.

Vesely beat Sock 7-5, 7-5, 6-3.
