Alex de Minaur opened his Roland Garros campaign with a clean, straight-sets win on red clay. The No. 8 seed defeated British qualifier Toby Samuel 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 in the Round of 128 on Court 14 in Paris.

Straight-sets control on Court 14
De Minaur kept the scoreboard moving in each set, finishing 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 without letting the match drift. The second set was the longest of the three, but he still kept things tidy to stay in front. On a surface that often stretches rallies, his pacing and focus stood out.
Tempo by the numbers
Set times tell the story of steady control: around 36 minutes for the opener, roughly 44 minutes for set two, and about 32 minutes to close. Overall, the match ran close to 1 hour 52 minutes. Each frame ended with de Minaur on top, and the final set was his most decisive.
