abc.net.au/news/in-form-de-minaur-storms-into-round-of-32-at-us-open/102802210Australia's Alex de Minaur has raced into the US Open third round like he had a hot ticket to Broadway.Chris O'Connell vs Daniil Medvedev to be decided
A quarterfinalist in 2020, de Minaur loves the faster pace of Flushing Meadows and sped through Thursday's match in vastly different fashion to his laborious four-set, first-round dogfight against Kazakh qualifier Timofey Skatov. De Minaur also put huge pressure on Wu's serve, setting up 18 break points and taking seven of those opportunities.Wu is the Chinese giant-killer who not only dumped Nick Kyrgios out of Stuttgart in the grand slam finalist's premature return from a knee injury this year but also up-ended Denis Shapovalov and Taylor Fritz en route to the final on Dallas hard courts in February.
The 13th seed will play either Chile's world number 25 Nicolas Jarry or 17-year-old American wildcard Alex Michelsen on Sunday for a place in the last 16 of the season's final major.
