The best word for him? Unrelentless.<\/p>\n Carlos Alcaraz leads Alex de Minaur 7-5, 6-2, 1-0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 10.16pm<\/p>\n Analysis: Alcaraz turns the screws<\/p>\n Demon has looked at his team in dismay several times tonight, as he did again after losing the second set. Every time he looks close to getting back into the match, Alcaraz turns the screws. That relentless pressure has worn on Demon, who has begun missing balls he normally would not, while trying to stay aggressive. What was a mighty task at the start of the night is that much more difficult now.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 10.10pm<\/p>\n Game and set Alcaraz<\/p>\n Bang! Just like that Alcaraz is up two sets to love. De Minaur dropped serve and collapses in the set 6-2. It was a daunting assignment pre-match, and it hasn\u2019t got any easier for the Australian.<\/p>\n Carlos Alcaraz leads Alex de Minaur 7-5, 6-2<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 10.10pm<\/p>\n Analysis: \u2018Unbelievable\u2019 defence<\/p>\n Carlos Alcaraz\u2019s ability to crank the volume on his ground strokes is well-documented, but his defence is unbelievable. Alex de Minaur can hardly do much more, and Alcaraz keeps absorbing what comes at him then going into attack mode. Demon\u2019s had chances tonight, but Alcaraz remains well in charge.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 10.09pm<\/p>\n Alcaraz\u2019s permanent reminder<\/p>\n Two-time Australian Open champion and former world No.1 Jim Courier just reminded us all in commentary for Nine that Carlos Alcaraz has said he\u2019d get a tattoo of a kangaroo if he won the Australian Open.<\/p>\n He\u2019s already inked with the Statue of Liberty after first winning the US Open back in 2022 \u2013 his first major victory.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 10.09pm<\/p>\n In pictures: The best of Chris Hopkins The roar of approval from Carlos Alcaraz.Credit: Chris Hopkins<\/p>\n De Minaur is showing plenty of fight.Credit: Chris Hopkins<\/p>\n Alcaraz has shown simply awesome athleticism throughout his quarter final.Credit: Chris Hopkins<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 10.05pm<\/p>\n What a crucial game<\/p>\n Carlos Alcaraz holds serve, keeping Alex de Minaur at bay.<\/p>\n The world No.1 stared down a break point and didn\u2019t relent. He wasn\u2019t going to give up a service game easily. Alcaraz improves to 5-2 in the set after 40 minutes. This match could very quickly slip from de Minaur\u2019s grasp now.<\/p>\n Fascinating tennis.<\/p>\n Carlos Alcaraz [1] leads Alex de Minaur [6] 7-5, 5-2 after 1 hour and 38 minutes<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 10.00pm<\/p>\n Game de Minaur<\/p>\n Well done Alex. A top-notch service game, holding to love. That\u2019s exactly what the doctor ordered. A reminder that it\u2019s only one break of serve in the second set. There\u2019s plenty left in this contest. And de Minaur is up for the fight.<\/p>\n Carlos Alcaraz [1] leads Alex de Minaur [6] 7-5, 4-2<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 9.58pm<\/p>\n Jules steps out post-Lachie<\/p>\n The recently separated Jules Neale is hard-launching her post-Lachie Neale life via the Piper-Heidsieck on-court seats at the Australian Open today.<\/p>\n Jules Neale at the Piper-Heidsieck bar at Melbourne Park on Tuesday afternoon.Credit: Penny Stephens<\/p>\n Jules\u2019 return to the social circuit follows relentless tabloid coverage of what she described on social media as \u201can unimaginable betrayal\u201d by her husband, AFL player and former Brisbane Lions co-captain Lachie.<\/p>\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/7c0e77e9cdcb604c65d138c954d14cb1775cd70f.jpeg\")
