Alex de Minaur Advances to Monte Carlo Masters Quarterfinals

Road to the Quarterfinals

Australian No. 1 Alex de Minaur knocked out Britain’s Cameron Norrie in the round of 32 before dispatching Belgian qualifier Alexander Blockx 7‑5, 7‑6(4). The victory marks his deepest run at an ATP Masters 1000 event this year.

Next Opponent

De Minaur now faces Valentin Vacherot, the lone Monegasque on tour who has cracked the top‑20 after a rapid rise. A win would set up a possible semifinal against world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz, keeping Australian hopes alive on the clay of Monte Carlo.
