De Minaur wins in Bois-le-Duc and leaves a lasting impression!
Watch out for De Minaur!
In 2024, Alex De Minaur's status has changed. Since January, the Australian has already won 33 matches and now two titles. Already crowned champion in Acapulco (beating Tsitsipas and Ruud), the world No. 9 has made a flying start to the grass-court season.
After a very good season on ochre, where he reached the quarter-finals of Roland-Garros, the 25-year-old has made a perfect transition to grass. Engaged at Bois-le-Duc this week, he didn't tremble in the slightest. Not conceding a single set, the Australian racked up four very solid victories. Dominating Bergs (7-5, 6-4), Raonic (7-5, 6-2), Humbert (7-6, 6-3) and finally Korda (6-2, 6-4), he is more than ever a serious outsider on grass.
In fact, given his results on clay, even though it's his worst surface, it's easy to expect very good results on grass. Next up for De Minaur: the Queen's tournament and a first-round match against Musetti.
