In the first company, the Dutchman broke his opponent at 5-4, immediately winning the set. In the second part he took distance faster, to win with a clear difference (6-1).
Brouwer recently did not get far at Wimbledon, after he did win in the qualifying rounds. As a debutant on the London grass, he lost in three sets in the opening round against the much higher ranked German Alexander Zverev.
