American Jared Donaldson saw off the challenge of Denis Istomin in Geneva to set up a clash against Stan Wawrinka.

Next up for Donaldson is an encounter against third seed and two-time defending champion Wawrinka, who had a bye in the opening round.
Frances Tiafoe also advanced as he came out on top in the all-American match against Ryan Harrison, winning 3-6, 7-6 (7-5), 6-4. He will face either fifth seed Albert Ramos-Vinolas or Hungarian Marton Fucsovics.
Two more Americans advanced as Tennys Sandgren beat Andreas Haider Maurer 1-6, 6-1, 6-0 while Noah Rubin got the better of Marcos Baghdatis, securing a 7-6 (7-4), 6-4 victory.
