Alex de Minaur is ultra-consistent but Thursday morning’s match against big-serving Brit Jack Draper is the best chance he’s ever had to take his game - and his career - to a whole new level.
Alex de Minaur has never won a grand slam quarter-final but also never lost to the towering Brit he will try to conquer for a fourth time to advance to the US Open’s final four.
But as de Minaur said on Tuesday: “The biggest thing we need to understand is that there’s nothing sure in tennis.” A deep dive into the numbers, and the two players’ history against each other, offers even more optimism for de Minaur. The countryman de Minaur just beat, Jordan Thompson, believes his Davis Cup teammate, “doesn’t really have any holes”.
“I played a great tiebreak, and you could just tell how the whole momentum switched … he was maybe struggling a bit physically, and I was able to pounce on that,” de Minaur said after that 2022 clash.
