Additional first-round winners were Slovenian Grega Zemlja, Israeli Dudi Sela and Spaniard Guillermo Garcia-Lopez.
In some second-round action here on Thursday, Dodig will face Garcia-Lopez and sixth-seeded former Australian Open runner-up Marcos Baghdatis will encounter Poland's Lukasz Kubot. The Cypriot Baghdatis was the Zagreb champ in 2007.
