French Open: De Minaur, And Fritz Advance To Second Round; Navone Too Wins First-round Clash
American Taylor Fritz: Australian Alex de Minaur, American Taylor Fritz, Mariano Navone, and Jaume Munar won their respective men's singles matches and reached the second round of the French Open 2024 in the French capital on Tuesday.
Alex de Minaur kick-started his Roland Garros campaign in style, despite a few hours of rain interruption which did not do anything to prevent him from advancing on Tuesday afternoon. After play finally got underway on Court Simonne-Mathieu in around afternoon, the 11th-seeded Australian raced past #NextGenATP Alex Michelsen 6-1, 6-0, 6-2 to seal his second-round spot at the clay-court major.
De Minaur converted eight of 13 break points he earned, according to Infosys Stats, to advance to face Jaume Munar or Roberto Bautista Agut. De Minaur saved two break points in the opening game of the match but barely looked back from then on, ultimately wrapping victory in just one hour and 48 minutes against Roland Garros debutant Michelsen.
