De Minaur up and running at Queen's, Mensik suffers early defeat
De Minaur survived two set points and ended a two-year Queen's losing streak before setting up a second-round meeting with Denis Shapovalov.
- On Tuesday, Australian top seed Alex de Minaur defeated Canada's Gabriel Diallo 7-6, 6-3 at the Queen's Club Championships in London, advancing to the last 16.
- The victory snapped a two-year losing streak at the tournament for de Minaur, who maintained momentum after reaching the final at 's-Hertogenbosch last week.
- During a grueling 15-minute fourth-set game, de Minaur broke serve to seize control, later saying, "That was a big challenge, it wasn't the most pretty match but today was all about surviving."
- Next, de Minaur faces Canadian Denis Shapovalov of Richmond Hill, Ont., at the ATP 500 event; Shapovalov broke a five-match losing streak Monday by defeating Britain's Jack Pinnington Jones.
- Diallo's season record fell to 6-15 following the defeat, while elsewhere at the event, French veteran Adrian Mannarino defeated third seed Jacub Mensik in a marathon three-set clash.
