Additionally, Frances Tiafoe staged a comeback against Portuguese qualifier Jaime Faria, who had led by two sets and a break, ultimately winning 6-2 in the fifth set after four hours of play. The last match of the day saw Felix Auger-Aliassime secure his place in the round of 16 with a four-set victory over Brandon Nakashima.
