Main draw action kicked off at the Belgrade Open on Sunday with three winners moving into the second round.
Jeremy Chardy beat American Tennys Sandgren 6-4, 6-2. Chardy is looking to gain some clay-court momentum after starting the season with two semi-final runs and reaching the quarter-finals of the ATP 500 in Dubai.
Serbian Pedja Krstin made good use of his wild card by defeating Soonwon Kwon 6-2, 3-6, 6-1. The win marks the 26-year-old’s first tour-level victory in four main-draw appearances.
His compatriot, 17-year-old Marko Topo, started strong in his ATP Tour debut, but Federico Coria ultimately triumphed 4-6, 6-2, 6-0.
