Kyle Edmund through to round two of French Open

    British number one Kyle Edmund is through to the second round of the French Open.

    The 23-year-old beat Australia’s Alex de Minaur 6-4 6-2 6-3 at Roland Garros. De Minaur, 19, is considered a rising star of Australian tennis, but could not cope with 16th seed Edmund's performance.

    It is the first time Edmund is seeded at a Grand Slam, after climbing up to a career-high world ranking of 17.

    The Briton will play Hungary's Marton Fucsovics in the second round.
