Millman will face Gilles Simon or Andrej Martin for a place in the quarter-finals. The Australian lost his only previous ATP Head2Head contest against Simon in Sydney last year and is yet to meet Martin at tour-level.

Radu Albot also earned a quick first-round win on Sunday. The Moldovan won 82 per cent of his first-serve points (23/28) to beat Yuichi Sugita 6-4, 6-1 in 76 minutes.

The 2019 Delray Beach Open by VITACOST.com titlist will meet top seed Denis Shapovalov in the second round. Shapovalov, who is making his debut in Sofia, is attempting to finish an ATP Tour season inside the Top 10 in the FedEx ATP Rankings for the first time.
