De Minaur Advances in Cincinnati | Sydney News

Alex de Minaur powers through a grueling, rain-delayed battle to oust Arthur Fery in straight sets at the Cincinnati Open — a crucial warm-up for the US Open. The Aussie No. 5 seed, who’s been grinding through tough conditions, clinched victory in a two-hour, twenty-two-minute thriller that featured a dramatic second-set tiebreaker. Fery, fresh off his Wimbledon semifinal run and now ranked 36th, gave everything he had — but de Minaur rose to the occasion, channeling resilience and confidence from hard-fought wins. Meanwhile, fellow Aussie Rinky Hijikata bows out after falling to Jakub Mensik, leaving de Minaur as Australia’s lone hope in the round of 16. With eyes on replicating his 2019 fourth-round run, de Minaur is already focused on his next challenge — and the momentum is building.
