Rublev made it to his third straight quarterfinal after clobbering Nuno Borges of Portugal 6-3 6-4. Rublev’s thunderous serves presented a ton of trouble for his Portuese opponent, recording 11 aces and winning 83 percent of his first serves without giving up a single service break. De Minaur was also in his element in his second-round win over Botic Van De Zandschulp 6-4. 6-4. The Australian held all his serves and captured two key break point conversions, creating the separation he needed to pull away from his Dutch foe. With the victory, De Minaur has reached the round of 8 in all three tournaments he competed this year.
