#NextGenATP Frenchman Arthur Fils won his first tour-level grass-court match in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, where he moved past countryman Arthur Cazaux 6-4, 6-4.

The 19-year-old, who was competing in his third tour-level match on the surface, did not face a break point en route to his one-hour, 33-minute win in his first Lexus ATP Head2Head meeting with Cazaux.

Fils, currently first in the PIF ATP Live Race To Jeddah, will next play third-seeded Frenchman Ugo Humbert in the Netherlands.

The 2019 champion Adrian Mannarino made a winning start to his campaign in the Netherlands, where he clawed past Stefano Napolitano 3-6, 7-6(5), 6-2. The 35-year-old next plays Gijs Brouwer after the Dutch qualifier defeated #NextGenATP Czech Jakub Mensik 6-1, 3-6, 6-3.

In other action, Australian Aleksandar Vukic beat countryman Max Purcell 6-3, 7-6(5), while Mackenzie McDonald downed Dutchman Botic van de Zandschulp 6-4, 4-6, 6-2.
