Dominik failed to prove

The Frenchman's loss came less than 24 hours after last year's runner-up, Andreas Seppi, was eliminated in the first round by German qualifier Dominik Meffert.The 19-year-old Cilic, seeking his first career title, will next play seventh-seeded Russian Igor Andreev, a 7-5 6-4 winner over Florent Serra.Top seed Stanislas Wawrinka was given a formidable challenge from Swiss countryman Stephane Bohli in their second-round match before escaping with a 7-6 (7/6) 5-7 7-6 (7/3) victory.The 23-year-old Wawrinka, competing on home soil for the first time since cracking the top 10 in the ATP rankings in May, was a finalist here in 2005.
