Carreno Busta started his campaign at the Olympics with a confident victory. In the first round, he left no chance for Tennys Sandgren: the American was defeated in two straight sets (7-5, 6-2).

In his first match at the Olympics, he faced the Brazilian tennis player Menezes and showed really inconsistent performance.

It's worth mentioning that Cilic has recently won his first title of the season on grass in Stuttgart.
