Nicolas Jarry enjoyed a winning start at the Swedish Open on Tuesday, while Fabio Fognini learned his second-round Croatia Open Umag opponent.
Fifth seed Jarry came through his opener unscathed, beating Henri Laaksonen 7-6 (7-1), 7-5 despite trailing by a break early in the first set.
The Chilean joins compatriot and top seed Cristian Garin, who was handed a bye, in the next round, with the latter to face Jeremy Chardy.
Chardy came through in three sets in his first-round clash with Pablo Carreno Busta, a qualifier this week.
Juan Ignacio Londero and Joao Sousa eased through, while Damir Dzumhur had too much for Casper Ruud.
