German wild card Mischa Zverev came from behind in both sets against Bosnia’s Mirza Basic to win his place in the fourth round at the Gerry Perry Open.
Basic squandered a 4-1 lead in the first set and a 2-1 break lead in the second.
It allowed Zverev to close out a 7-6, 6-3 victory with an ace.
Later in the day, top seed Roger Federer looked a little rusty on his way to victory over another German wild card – Cedrik-Marcel Stebe.
Now ranked three in the world, Federer has not won a title this year and came into the tournamen following a quarter-final loss at the French Open.
Despite committing a double fault on his first match point, he hit a volley winner to win 6-3, 6-3 for a place in the quarter-finals.
