SHANGHAI (AP) — Seventh-seeded Alex de Minaur became the third
player this season to win 50 tour-level games by defeating Nuno
Borges 7-5, 6-2 at the Shanghai Masters on Wednesday.
De Minaur hit 19 winners on the way to reach his seventh Masters
1000 quarterfinal in one hour and 47 minutes.
Only top-ranked Carlos Alcaraz with 67 wins and Taylor Fritz
with 50 have already reached the 50-win mark in 2025.
In his previous best season, De Minaur had 47 wins in 2024, and
two titles.
He will be facing next 16th-seeded Daniil Medvedev who defeated
Learner Tien 7-6 (6), 6-7 (1), 6-4.
Also, the 12th-seeded Felix Auger-Aliassime knocked out
eighth-seeded Lorenzo Musetti 6-4, 6-2 to set up up a
quarterfinal against Arthur Rinderknech who upset another seeded
player, No. 15 Jiri Lehecka 6-3, 7-6 (5).
The 54th-ranked Rinderknech who eliminated third-seeded
Alexander Zverev, has joined his cousin Valentin Vacherot in the
quarters.
