In other second round action, seventh seed Hubert Hurkacz of Poland was forced to retire in the fourth set of his match with Arthur Fils of France.

The Frenchman was leading by two sets to one and the players were in the fourth set tie-breaker when Hurkacz decided he could not continue due to the knee injury.
