It was the first time de Minaur and Shelton had faced each other on tour. The American ace dispatched de Minaur 6-3, 6-4 to reach the semifinals in Toronto. <\/p><p>During the game, the Aussie committed 28 unforced errors and achieved 14 winners. De Minaur won&rsquo;t be happy with this performance but it will help him to improve in the ongoing North American hard-court swing. However, Alex de Minaur set a disappointing record as the top-10 player. <\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">First career Masters 1000 Semi-Final &#9989;<br><br>Ben Shelton reaches new territory as he defeats the in form Alex de Minaur 6-3 6-4 &#11088;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NBO25?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#NBO25<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/1FW8io1iaD\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/1FW8io1iaD<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Tennis TV (@TennisTV) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TennisTV\/status\/1952919938600940007?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>August 6, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alex de Minaur set disappointing record against top-10 players <\/h2><p>Alex de Minaur is yet to beat a top-10 player on the ATP tour since being part of the top-10 club.

He scripted a glorious comeback and beat Alejandro Davidovic Fokina in a third-set tiebreak. De Minaur knows how to beat the top-10 players but he went into the pressure since being part of this. <\/p><p>Last year, de Minaur beat world No. 10 Taylor Fritz in United Cup and later, secured a victory against Novak Djokovic. He beat Alexander Zverev to take third consecutive top-10 victory. With his remarkable performance, he became the first Aussie player to enter top-10 since Lleyton Hewitt in 2006. <\/p><p>De Minaur will now shift his focus on the Cincinnati Masters where he is the sixth seed player. In this masters event, big names like Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz will make comeback. The Australian ace has reached the quarterfinals in 2020 and 2024 US Open so he will eye a deep run this year. <\/p><p><em>Mandatory Credit: John E.
