The Scot won the opening set 6-3, but the Slovakian kept up with him all the way in the second and came out on top to take it 7-6 and tie the match at 1 a-piece.
The number 1 seed, however, produced some master class performance in the 3rd and didn’t let Klizan to even win a game as he advanced into the last 16 with a bagel. He’ll next face Frenchman Gilles Simon.
