British number one Jack Draper cruised through to the second round of the Paris Masters with a straight-set win over the Czech Republic's Jiri Lehecka.
Draper, who won the biggest title of his career in Vienna on Sunday, won 7-5 6-2 in one hour eight minutes.
A tight first set went to serve before Draper made the crucial break in the 11th game.
The Briton dominated the second set, reeling off five games in a row to seal victory.
He will now face American fifth seed Taylor Fritz in the second round on Wednesday.
The 22-year-old left-hander, who reached his maiden Grand Slam semi-final at the US Open last month, rose to a career-high ranking of 15th in the world on Monday.
