Alex de Minaur suggests what he thinks of the courts at the US Open compared to the Australian Open<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cHe is a player that again is very much a confidence player. He\u2019s got arguably the best forehand on tour. Feels like he can hit a winner off anything on that side.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd he\u2019s a very aggressive player that tries to dictate and doesn\u2019t, I would say, enjoy when someone else is dictating.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo the whole game plan again, would be to do my best to kind of get on the front foot, whenever I can, and try to get him moving.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alex de Minaur shares his thoughts on Felix Auger-Aliassime ahead of their US Open match<\/p>\n
De Minaur will perhaps be glad he won\u2019t be taking on the forehand of Rublev, although a very tough test does await against Auger-Aliassime.<\/p>\n
The duo have met three times on the ATP Tour so far, with the Canadian holding a 2-1 win-loss record over the Australian.<\/p>\n
Sharing his verdict on Auger-Aliassime ahead of another rematch, De Minaur commented: \u201cI think Felix is that type of player that everyone knows that his top level is incredibly high, right? And when he\u2019s playing with confidence, he\u2019s very tough to beat.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd this week he\u2019s obviously playing some incredible tennis, and he\u2019s got a lot of weapons. He\u2019s got a great serve, he\u2019s got a great forehand.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe looks to dictate whenever he can. So in that match-up for me it\u2019s all about trying to disrupt his rhythm, not give him the chance to bully me on the court and do my best to counter and dictate whenever I can and ultimately I know what I\u2019m getting myself into.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s got moments on the court where he\u2019s unbeatable, and then there\u2019s moments that he\u2019ll give you a couple errors. So for me it\u2019s about weathering the storm.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m giving myself a chance playing for a quarterfinal. These are the matches I want to be playing, and for me it\u2019s about going for it, going for the opportunity. And I\u2019m very excited for it.\u201d<\/p>\n
