Alex de Minaur has continued his winning run at an ATP 500 tournament in Rotterdam this week.
The 22-year-old Australian scored a hard-fought 7-6(6) 1-6 6-4 second-round victory against American Mackenzie McDonald, overcoming the world No.49 in two hours and 28 minutes.
It propels world No.34 De Minaur into his first ATP quarterfinal since his title-winning run at Eastbourne in June 2021.
De Minaur now plays either top seed Stefanos Tsitsipas or Belarusian Ilya Ivashka for a place in the semifinals.
The Aussie is building impressive momentum, having won seven of his nine matches so far in 2022. His only losses have been against top-10 stars Daniil Medvedev and Jannik Sinner.
