Alex de Minaur sees off his American opponent as wet and cold conditions play havoc at the French Open.
Alex de Minaur made light work of his teenage American opponent with a straight sets victory at the French Open .
But when they finally did get going, with de Minaur wearing a thermal undershirt to keep out the cold on a damp, miserable day, he still lit up Roland Garros's most beautiful "garden" court with his 6-1, 6-0, 6-2 demolition job on the 19-year-old, who had blitzed him on a hard court in Los Cabos in April.
"But I knew what to expect. I was ready. I had my undershirt thermal layering on. I was ready for a battle in the cold and rain."For all the latest on and off court, join Catherine Murphy, John Millman and John Alexander for the ABC Tennis Podcast on ABC listen.Much more ready than his young opponent, who looked thoroughly disenchanted with the clay, the rain, de Minaur's killer drop shots and, last but not least, an umpire who he berated wildly for one bad call.
