Australia’s De Minaur Reaches US Open Fourth Round

Australian tennis player Alex de Minaur has reached the second week of the US Open for the third consecutive year, continuing to perform well despite receiving limited attention. As the eighth seed and a 2024 quarterfinalist, he was surprised his third-round match against Daniel Altmaier was scheduled on the smallest court at Flushing Meadows, Court 17, but he remains focused on winning more matches to earn bigger court assignments. De Minaur, 26, has consistently reached the quarterfinals at all four majors over the past two years but has yet to progress further. He embraces his under-the-radar status and prefers to let his tennis speak for itself, expressing pride in this approach. Looking ahead, he faces Swiss qualifier Leandro Reidi in the fourth round, with potential opponents in the quarterfinals including Felix Auger-Aliassime or Andrey Rublev. De Minaur is optimistic about extending his run at the tournament and is excited to be competing in the second week again.
