Like Roger Federer the previous day, top seed Djokovic found it tough going against an unseeded opponent before prevailing in two hours in the Florida twilight. Next up for the Serbian will be Spanish 22nd seed Roberto Bautista Agut, who prevailed 6-4 6-4 over Italian 15th seed Fabio Fognini. Ramos-Vinolas broke Isner to start the match but the American saved the next four break points he faced to advance.
