Australian No 1 too good for Swiss qualifier Leandro Riedi
The 6-3 6-2 6-1 victory was completed in just 93 minutes
It took until the second week of the US Open for the No 8 seed to be given a slot on one of the US Open’s three show courts, but having finally been granted a premium placing Alex de Minaur has wasted no time putting on a show.
In truth the Australian No 1 did not play at his best, but he did not need to as his opponent, Swiss qualifier Leandro Riedi, made a slew of errors.
De Minaur did, however, show flashes of genius in putting away the world No 435 to win 6-3 6-2 6-1 in 93 minutes.
