Tarvet was not faced with a single break in court 4 and showed no signs of nerves when he secured a 6-4 6-4 over his Swiss opponent, who also went through qualifying.
He will now compete with the winner of the game between the defending champion Alcaraz and Fabio Fognini.
After reaching the second round, Tarvet is guaranteed at least 99,000 pounds, although he cannot claim most of it due to the college rules in the United States.
Every year, players can limit a profit of £ 7,290 from professional tournaments from professional tournaments, which restricts Tarvet because they take part in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) at the University of San Diego as part of the NCAA system.

Tarvet said last week: “I know that there were complaints about it, but I don’t want to talk too much about it and exceed the brand.
“But in my opinion I worked hard to get this money. I don’t have the feeling that the money I have, undeserved.
“I think it would be good to see a change in the rules of the NCAA, but at the same time I don’t want to get involved. It is not really my place.
“But I did well this week. I think I made this money.”
