Alex de Minaur is gearing up for the US Open, a tournament where he has previously reached the quarterfinals. His past performances at Flushing Meadows include a quarterfinal appearance in 2020, where he was defeated by the eventual champion Dominic Thiem in straight sets (6-1, 6-2, 6-4). Four years later, De Minaur faced Jack Draper in the quarterfinals but was hampered by injuries, leading to another straight-sets loss.
de Minaur is currently preparing for his third-round match at the Canadian open against fellow Australian Christopher O’Connell, scheduled for Friday, August 1. His recent form suggests he is well-positioned to aim for a strong showing at the upcoming US open.
