ATP roundup: Alex de Minaur rallies in Vienna

Second seed Alex de Minaur of Australia bounced back from a tough first set and defeated Germany's Jan-Lennard Struff 2-6, 6-2, 6-2 in the first round of the Erste Bank Open on Tuesday in Vienna, Austria.

Struff won 10 of his 11 first-serve points in the opening set, but de Minaur took over from there. He finished the match 4-for-6 in both saving break points and converting chances to break Struff's serve.

Luciano Darderi of Italy defeated Dominic Thiem 7-6 (6), 6-2 in the final match of the retiring Austrian star's career.

Also advancing in straight sets were American No. 5 seed Frances Tiafoe, Italian No. 6 seed Lorenzo Musetti, British No. 7 seed Jack Draper, American Marcos Giron, Frenchman Gael Monfils and Serbia's Miomir Kecmanovic.
