This form helped to enter the top 10 in front of an unexpected 16 round of conflict with the Swiss qualifying Leandro Riedii, the 435th, the lowest row player who has reached this stage since 2002.

Potentially seeded competitors Karen Khachanov and Francisco Cerundolo is a very good draw for Minaur after leaving in the second round.

In the past, the Germans showed that the best 10 stars between Jannik Sinner, Alexander Zverev, Taylor Fritz, Andrey Rubev and Matteo Berrettini and the leading role.

Both players did not encounter a breaking point on the opening set, but Minaur only hit 3-0 in the tie mol to control it from the base line of Altmaier to a great extent. Altmaier made a single -sized leadership in his third opportunity.

If this is not enough, Minaur fell to 15-40 in the third match of the second set. He saved three break points to escape this game, but for the fourth time on the set, the double was left behind for the third time.

He escaped once more in the Australian way, and he also threw three breaking points before doing a service with a perfect exterior Forehand winner. At that stage, Altmaier made less mistakes despite the aggressive shot.

However, in line with the reputation of Minaur, he found a way to grab the rise. Altmaier’s level sank so slightly and jumped the man known as “demon”.

Statistically, the best recycler of the tour, Minaur finally won the first break point in the eighth match. Altmaier’i from the court with a great cross Court Forehand dragged him 5-3 with a lung backhand volleyball.

He quickly served the set to level the match and did not return Altmaier to the competition, including a slippery drop by taking an instant break to start the third set.

Kasatkina’s onset of fear

Kasatkina launched a fear against Osaka, three pairs of errors in the opening service game and the Japanese superstar was a single set advantage in 23 minutes without accepting a game.

However, in March, Kasatkina, who lives in Australia, warned that he will not give before the match.

At his previous two meetings, he had never extinguished Osaka, but he broke his opponent three times to start the second set while he was 4-1 in a wild release of the momentum. However, another bending would still come.

While Kasatkina’s service continued to be shaky, Osaka returned to the set and hugged three flat games to draw levels.

Just as Osaka seems ready to win straight sets, he sprayed a Forehand to take a fourth break for the set. Kasatkina exploded sequential set points before bringing a rare AS and one -third, and produced a second excellent service that did not return later.

However, for all Kasatkina’s dogs, Osaka’s fire power proved a lot.

The 2018 and 2020 US open champion burned 15 to 15 winners of Australia by Match’s End, including 15 in the third set for making holes in Kasatkina’s defense. He was broken for 3-1 and was never released.

Osaka later meets Coco Gauff this year’s tournament in a quarter -finals in a clash that broke box office records.

“It was a really long journey, but now I’m happy to be here, Os Osaka said. “It’s hard to play an American here… but I also understand [Gauff] As a little sister, it is really great to play her here again. “

Sinner escaped from a dangerous situation to overcome Denis Shapovalov in four sets, and Lorenzo Musetti, five -sized Victor Andrey Rubev, Karolina Muchova and Ekaterina Alexandrova participated in the last 16.
