"It was extremely windy and also the complete opposite to what we played in in Indian Wells five or six day ago.
"I always enjoy coming back - it's nice to spend some time in your bed. I've only spent 10 or so days at home in the UK this year so it's nice when I am travelling to spend a bit of time in my own place."

Switzerland's seventh seed Stan Wawrinka lost the first set before beating Carlos Berlocq, of Argentina, 6-7 (9-11), 7-5 6-2.
