The world No.9 begins proceedings on Court 14 as he opens his account against Serbian Laslo Djere.

De Minaur has thrived throughout the 2025 clay season, highlighted by a semifinal appearance at the Monte Carlo Masters. The 26-year-old is 9-4 on the surface this year.

Defending his place in the final eight at Roland Garros 2024, De Minaur is focusing on one match at a time. However, his career-best efforts last year provided him with inner belief.

“I’ve always been a person that stays in the present, so the only thing on my mind right now is my first-round opponent, Djere,” he told AAP. “Last year’s run gave me a lot of confidence to really believe that I can be a menace on the surface, and I can take it to anyone on any given day.”

James Duckworth and Adam Walton feature on Court 12 later on Tuesday, hoping to join Alexei Popyrin in the second round.
