Good start for Tomic
Australian young gun Bernard Tomic has made a successful start to his US Open junior campaign with a comfortable straight-sets win over Fin Henri Laaksonen.
Bidding to add a second Grand Slam crown to his 2008 Australian Open junior title, 16-year-old Tomic cruised to a 6-4 6-3 win in less than an hour at Flushing Meadows.
The third seed will meet either Indian Sudanwa Sitaram or American Alexander Domijan in the second round.
