Matthew Ebden and Andreas Seppi crashed out in the first round of the Geneva Open, but fifth seed Radu Albot advanced.

Seventh seed Ebden from Australia was beaten by Nicolas Jarry with the Chilean winning 6-2, 7-6 (7-2) to earn a clash against American Denis Kudla.

Eight seed Seppi was on the wrong end of a three-set scoreline as he was beaten 6-1, 3-6, 6-4 by Hugo Dellien from Bolivia.

Wildcard Janko Tipsarevic is up next for Dellien as the Serb advanced with a 7-5, 7-5 victory over Peter Gojowczyk from Germany.

Romanian Albot won two tie-breakers against Italian qualifier Lorenzo Sonego and the 7-6 (8-6), 7-6 (7-4) victory earned him a clash against Argentine Juan Igancio Londero while Taro Daniel beat Bernabe Zapata 6-4, 4-6, 6-3.
