ATP Tour — Taylor Fritz of Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif., in the Los Angeles area and Casper Ruud of Norway defeated Raven Klaasen of South Africa and Ben McLachlan (University of California, Berkeley, 2011-14) of Japan 6-7 (5), 6-1 [10-5] in the first round of the Rolex Paris Masters.
The Paris Masters is one of nine ATP 1000 tournaments, the highest level besides the Grand Slams.
Third-seeded Rajeev Ram, a volunteer assistant coach at Cal from Carmel, Ind., and Joe Salisbury of Great Britain withdrew because of Salisbury's undisclosed injury or illness.
Klaasen, 38, and McLachlan, a 28-year-old New Zealand product who plays for his mother's native country, won the Cologne title two weeks ago in their only other tournament together.
Fritz, 23, captured his first two professional singles titles back-to-back in Northern California Challengers in Sacramento and Fairfield at 17 in 2015.
Ruud, the 21-year-old son of former top-40 player Christian Ruud, reached the singles semifinals of the 2018 Fairfield Challenger at 19.
