In the round of 16 he defeated Russian Kchanov 6-3, 7-6. However, in the quarterfinals he was surprised by Vasley and the Czech left out of the tournament the number 1, which he still is despite the few matches he has played this year and only lost a week to the Russian Medvedev, who is now on leave after having to undergo surgery. While in the ATP Monte Carlo he was eliminated in the first round by the Spaniard Alejandro Davidovich and in the ATP Belgrade tournament he performed well reaching the final.
