Klizan is looking for his first win (0-3) of the season. TOP TWO SEEDS 2016 WINNERS – The top two seeds, Spaniard Roberto Bautista Agut and Serb Viktor Troicki come into Sofia after a successful opening month of the season.

Sock) and following with a personal-best 4R showing at the Australian Open (l. to No. 6 Berdych in five sets). Bautista Agut didn’t win his ninth match last year until April in Houston. Troicki enters with a 7-2 match record and he defended his title in Sydney (d. Dimitrov, saving match point).
