De Minaur Charges Into Antalya Quarter-finals

Alex de Minaur continued his strong start to the 2021 ATP Tour season on Saturday, as he defeated Adrian Andreev 6-3, 6-1 to reach the Antalya Open quarter-finals.

The 21-year-old broke Andreev’s serve on six occasions to earn his second straight-sets win of the tournament after 70 minutes. In his opening match of the tournament, De Minaur needed just 61 minutes to defeat Malek Jaziri of Tunisia 6-2, 6-1.

The three-time ATP Tour titlist is aiming to add a fourth ATP Tour title on hard courts to his resume. During a breakthrough 2019 campaign, De Minaur claimed his first three tour-level crowns in Sydney, Atlanta and Zhuhai.

De Minaur will meet sixth seed Nikoloz Basilashvili or Turkish wild card Altug Celikbilek for a place in the semi-finals. The fourth seed has not faced either player at tour-level.
