Britons Kyle Edmund and Jo Konta reached the final round of French Open qualifying with straight-sets wins.

Edmund, the British number four, beat Romania's former quarter-finalist Victor Hanescu 6-1 6-2.

British number two Konta saw off Russian seventh seed Elizaveta Kulichkova 7-6 (7-1) 6-3.

Brydan Klein lost 6-3 6-1 to Argentina's Facundo Arguello and Naomi Broady went down 6-1 6-1 to Australian Anastasia Rodionova.

Edmund, 20, outclassed the 33-year-old Hanescu, who lost to Roger Federer in the quarter-finals in Paris 10 years ago.

The Yorkshireman broke serve four times as he dominated with his forehand to win in just 67 minutes.
