De Minaur sets up Shanghai quarterfinal with Zverev
Alex de Minaur has taken a giant stride towards clinching another ATP Finals berth after roaring into the last eight of the Shanghai Masters.
Alex de Minaur has advanced to the Shanghai Masters quarterfinals, defeating Karen Khachanov 6-3, 6-4. The win has placed de Minaur in seventh in the live standings, surpassing Novak Djokovic and Frances Tiafoe, who have already been eliminated. De Minaur will face world number one Alexander Zverev in the quarterfinals. The 27-year-old has overcome a hip flexor injury that threatened to end his season and continues to defy injuries.
De Minaur prevailed in their previous two meetings at the Laver Cup, including two weeks ago. Zverev, who will be the year-end world number one, faces Alexander Bublik in the quarterfinals after defeating Bublik 7-6(6), 4-6, 7-6(1).
