Alex de Minaur has crushed Jordan Thompson’s US Open dreams after putting paid to a comeback with a 6-0 3-6 6-3 7-5 victory in their all-Australian fourth-round clash. De Minaur, the 10th seed, stormed out of the blocks to win the opening set without dropping a game but his 32nd-ranked countryman quickly got back on track in what became a tight tussle.
Knowing he had escaped having to fight through a tiebreak — or a fifth set — de Minaur grabbed his first chance to serve out the match with both hands. “I’ve got so much respect for Thommo. We’ve grown up together,” de Minaur said. “He’s been like a big brother to me, I really appreciate everything he’s done for me. He’s a hell of a competitor, my Davis Cup teammate. I can’t wait to share the court many, many times with him.
