After victory over Draper in Paris, De Minaur moves a step closer to the Masters!

Alex De Minaur's round-of-16 victory at the Paris Masters 1000 ended Jack Draper's seven-match winning streak, which began last week in Vienna.

The Australian battled for two hours to defeat the world No. 15 (5-7, 6-2, 6-3) on Court No. 1. The win sees him continue his climb up the rankings to 8th and overtake Andrey Rublev, who was eliminated in the 2nd round in Paris.

De Minaur now has 3,745 points and is inching ever closer to a ticket to the Turin Masters. And that's of course while waiting to play his quarter-final tomorrow against Holger Rune or Arthur Cazaux, where he'll start as the favorite.
