Tomas Berdych has recorded a straight-sets victory over Lleyton Hewitt to book his place in the second round of the US Open.
The number six seed eased past the veteran Australian 6-3 6-4 6-3 at Flushing Meadows in New York to claim his 100th Grand Slam match victory.
Berdych wrapped the match up in two hours and 17 minutes with a convincing display.
Elsewhere, Kevin Anderson edged out Pablo Ceuvas in a five-set thriller earlier in the afternoon.
