PARIS: Australian eighth seed Ashleigh Barty is not known for extravagant outfits, preferring to let her tennis do the talking on court, but she made an impression on both counts as she began her French Open campaign in style on Monday.
Barty has never been past the second round in five previous visits to the French Open but with her confidence soaring she seems primed to rectify that record this year. While Barty, and former runner-up Sam Stosur, will shoulder Australian women's hopes, Alex De Minaur, the men's 21st seed, scored his first French Open main draw victory on Monday to snap a five-match losing streak dating back to February.
