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.
