<\/a><\/p>\nDe Minaur\u2019s straight-sets win was not simply a tour-leading 38th hardcourt triumph of the season, it also marked his 300th tour-level victory.<\/p>\n
He became only the second player born in 1999 or later to have achieved the milestone. The Aussie roadrunner is in pretty decent company too, the only other player to have achieved the feat being four-time major winner and world No.2 Jannik Sinner.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s pretty cool,\u2019\u2018 de Minaur said during an on-court celebration on Monday.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou go through this sport, through your career, and you don\u2019t really get time or many options to really let something sink in.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is one of those things that is a pretty cool moment, to get to 300.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously it seems what has been a long career, and I\u2019ve enjoyed those 300 victories.\u2019\u2018<\/p>\n
De Minaur was at his bustling best against the Austrian world No.154, who competed well in the first set but missed converting a couple of break points in the fifth game.<\/p>\n
Rodionov\u2019s game fell apart in the second set as the third-seeded de Minaur cruised to victory in 80 minutes.<\/p>\n
De Minaur, who claimed his 10th career title when he took out the Washington Open in July, is seeded behind Sinner and world No.3 Alexander Zverev in Vienna.<\/p>\n
