Former world number one Lleyton Hewitt combined perfectly with teenage talent Alex de Minaur on Tuesday as the one-off doubles pairing knocked the second seeds out in the opening round at the Estoril Open. The ad-hoc Australian combination overwhelmed South African Raven Klaasen and New Zealand's Michael Venus, with the seeds exiting 6-4, 6-4 in 66 minutes on the clay. Venus won the doubles title here a year ago alongside Ryan Harrison, with whom he also claimed the 2017 French Open title.
