De Minaur's Chance to Rewrite History at Roland Garros Alex de Minaur's bid to rewrite his narrative at Roland Garros has gotten off to a strong start.
The Australian top 10 player defeated British qualifier Toby Samuel 6 4, 6 4, 6 2 in the first round and will now face Belgian rising star Alexander Blockx in a highly anticipated second round matchup.
De Minaur's victory over Samuel was business as usual for the player, who has consistently demonstrated his ability to perform on the world stage.
