Cameron Norrie breezed into the second round of the French Open after making light work of French wildcard Manuel Guinard.
The British No.1 headed into the second Grand Slam of the year off the back of his Lyon Open title win on Saturday and took just over two hours 15 minutes to see off Guinard, winning 7-5 6-2 6-0.
He'll now face Australian qualifier Jason Kubler in the next round as he looks to carry his impressive form deep into the tournament - he has never gone beyond the third round at Roland-Garros.
"It was a battle, the first set, and I just had to hang in there. He played great and held his intensity. I was able to match that and steal a break then serve it out," Norrie said.
"It's so nice to get my first win here this year. It's my first time playing on this court, it's so special and a great atmosphere, especially playing against a French player. There's definitely some Brits in the crowd, too, so it was good stuff.
"I have to be really patient with the clay. When I'm playing really, really well I can love it and then when I'm not I have moments where I don't like it so much.
"It feels really good to win today."
