Somdev Devvarman recorded only his seventh ATP tour victory in the first round of the Shenzhen Open.
The Indian player edged a three-set match against China's Xin Chn Gao 6-3 4-6 6-4 and will face British number one Andy Murray in the next round.
Italian Simone Bolelli eased past Australia's Matthew Ebden 6-4 6-2 and Juan Monaco won the all-Argentinian clash with Federico Del Bonis 6-3 6-5.
The victory leaves former world number 10 on 299 career wins, with seventh seed Vesak Pospisil his next likely opponent.
