Alex de Minaur follows Lleyton Hewitt in style with superb statistic in reaching Japan Open Quarter-Finals
ATPFriday, 20 October 2023 at 05:30
World number 13 Alex de Minaur has achieved a milestone after his impressive outing in the ongoing Japan Open.
The 24-year-old defeated Argentina’s Diego Schwartzman in straight sets in the round of 16 with a score of 6-0 and 7-5.
While doing so, he became the first Australian player to book his place in the 10 quarterfinals in a single season since the former world number one Lleyton Hewitt did it in 2004.
De Minaur will be hoping to continue his winning run in the competition, especially after a disappointing outing in the recently concluded Shanghai Masters where he was knocked out from the round of 64 after losing to Hungary’s Fabian Marozsan in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 7-5.
He is now set to face Russia’s Aslan Karatsev in the last-eight stage of the competition. It will be the third time when both players will meet on the tennis court. In the previous two meetings, both players ended up winning on one occasion.

Earlier this year in the Madrid Open, Karatsev managed to get revenge for that defeat as he registered a win in three sets against the 24-year-old with a score of 6-3, 4-6, 6-4.
