From there, he cruised past Ix of Virginia Tech with a resounding 6-1, 6-0, straight-set win. Tomorrow, Halldin will take on Luke Baylis (Michigan State) at 8 a.m. PT/10 a.m. local time.

Elsewhere in the singles bracket, Davis (London, England) played in two hard-fought, three-set singles matches.
