Young Queenstown tennis player Riki McLachlan won his first round match at the Australian Open Junior Tournament, with a three-set win over Andrew McLeod of Australia. The score was 6-4 4-6 6-4.
In the second round, McLachlan faced Cheng-Peng Hsieh of Chinese Taipei, but could not continue his progress, losing in straight sets.
The other two young New Zealanders in the main draw of the boys singles were not so fortunate, both exiting in the first round: Jordan Kelly-Houston lost 6-2 6-1 to 14th seed Shuichi Sekiguchi of Japan, while Ben McLachlan succumbed to Henri Laaksonen of Finland.
All three boys left the doubles competition in the first round.
