Australia’s top male hope Alex de Minaur has begun his French Open campaign in style with a straight sets defeat of American Bradley Klahn.

The 20-year-old, on the comeback from a groin injury, broke a five-match losing streak with the 6-1 6-4 6-4 win – his first on clay this season.

The 21st seed’s Monday triumph sets up a date with clay court specialist Pablo Carreno Busta and follow’s countryman Alexei Popyrin’s impressive Sunday win.
