What the players in the locker room and fans around the world appreicate with De Minaur is that you are always going to get 100% effort. He is not one to lose belief when he faces defeat, he holds his head up.

The first set was a very different Auger-Aliassime, but he has kept his demeanour and not let himself spiral down with the unimpressive level of tennis in the first set. It is slowly starting to come together for him.
At the back end of the second set and the back end of the third set, his level of tennis was overwhelming the Australian.

Goodness me. It looked like we might be in for another tie-break there but, after three hours and 15 minutes, Auger-Aliassime takes the third set and a one-set lead in this quarter-final match.
It still feels like we are a long way from getting a winner here, though.
*Auger-Aliassime 4-6 7-6 (9-7) 6-5 De Minaur
A big, and much needed, ace puts Auger-Aliassime within a point of taking set three.
But then the Canadian fires long - are the nerves getting to him again?

How that cross-court forehand stayed in, I have no idea but it gives Auger-Aliassime the first point towards him taking the third set.
