Alex de Minaur has enjoyed the perfect launch to his latest bid to reach a grand slam final with an encouraging win over Argentina's Roman Andres Burruchaga.
The Australian No.1 was stretched by an hour-long opening set but once he shook off his nerves, got his feet moving and found his groove, he raced to victory on Tuesday.
Winning 12 games out of 13 after the first set tiebreak, the 27-year-old earned a 7-6 (7-5) 6-1 6-0 victory, wrapping up the final two sets in 52 minutes.
