    De Minaur has more hard court wins than anyone else on the tour this year.

    28 wins to his name - that is not a statistic to be underestimated, even if some of them came at the lower level of tournament.

    Right, so Alex de Minaur is serving to stay in the set.

    Aside from being broken earlier in this set, De Minaur has looked pretty solid with the ball in hand.

    The 26-year-old leads 40-0 but Felix Auger-Aliassime comes back fighting and gets to deuce.

    Auger-Aliassime certainly embraces these indoor conditions when there is no wind to deviate the ball toss, or change the toss for any sun issues.

    Generally, the indoor courts play a bit quicker as well. There is some benefits to his all-round game.

    Felix Auger-Aliassime slams a forehand into the net to trail 40-30 and he's not happy with the ball. He asks to check that it's not flat but after a couple of bounces seems satisfied.

    The Canadian has dragged himself back into this set but seems to be waning mentally again.

    Alex de Minaur goes on to hold.

    We mentioned earlier how Britain's Oliver Bonding had made it through to the junior quarter-finals - he's now been joined by compatriot Hannah Klugman, who has just reached the last eight of the girls' singles.

    The only other Briton left in the junior singles is defending champion Mika Stojsavljevic, who is currently on court against another Czech player, Jana Kovackova.

    It seemed like the weight of shot has paid off [for Auger- Aliassime] in the last few points.

    It was a high quality return of serve followed by the forehand, which the Canadian's fan haven't seen often enough today.

    After playing for an hour and a half, De Minaur's weight have shot might have dropped enough for Felix to set up the points.

    Ramphadi 2-6 3-6 Lapthorne

    Britain's Andy Lapthorne has made it through to the quarter-finals of the wheelchair quad event, beating Donald Ramphadi of South Africa 6-2 6-3.

    The 34-year-old from Maidenhead went out at the opening stage of yesterday's doubles, in which he and American partner David Wagner were second seeds.

    But Lapthorne has quickly shaken off that disappointment to make the last eight of the singles, an event in which he has twice previously lifted the title.
