Hussey was playing in his first ATP Tour match, having been called up to replace Japan’s Kei Nishikori at very late notice.<\/p>\n
He needed just 64 minutes to complete victory over Navone, who lost to Jack Draper in the first round at Queen’s last week.<\/p>\n
“I’m shaking, I don’t know if you can tell,” Hussey, 27, said.<\/p>\n
“I just came out here and wanted to enjoy it. I was sat there 45 minutes before the match and didn’t know I was going to play today.<\/p>\n
“I really didn’t know much about Mariano but I knew that he’s played predominantly on clay so I thought if I could come out here and just swing and go for my shots and try and rush him that that could be the best plan and, luckily, it all came off.”<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, British number five and wildcard Liam Broady fell to a 6-3 6-3 loss against Japanese qualifier Yoshihito Nishioka on his return from injury.<\/p>\n
Broady injured his ankle in March and had his return to competition delayed after sustaining a concussion when he hit his head on a car boot earlier this month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
