De Minaur is just the third man to hit the 50-win mark in 2025, joining Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> (67) and Taylor Fritz<\/a> (50), with the Australian earning a Tour-leading 37 victories on hard courts. Playing with confidence and controlled aggression against Borges, De Minaur struck 19 winners to just 10 unforced errors en route to a one-hour, 47-minute triumph in the pair\u2019s first Lexus ATP Head2Head meeting.<\/p>\n De Minaur\u2019s previous best season in 2024 culminated in 47 wins and two titles, according to the Infosys ATP Win\/Loss Index. Having lifted the trophy at the ATP 500 event in Washington in August, the 26-year-old is chasing his second title of the year in Shanghai, where he will next meet Daniil Medvedev<\/a> or #NextGenATP American Learner Tien<\/a>.<\/p>\n “For me it just shows consistency and that is what I am most proud of,” De Minaur said on earning 50 tour-level wins. “Showing up every single week and it is an amazing number. I am hoping for many more to finish off the year and not stay at 50. It has been a successful trip to Asia so far. I told myself at the start of the week that it was all going to be a big mental effort to go out there and compete. I am happy to be in the quarter-finals and give myself another opportunity.”<\/p>\n De Minaur arrived in Shanghai off the back of a semi-final showing in Beijing and his latest run is further improving his Nitto ATP Finals<\/a> qualification chances. The 10-time tour-level champion is seventh in the PIF ATP Live Race To Turin, 740 points clear of 10th-placed Felix Auger-Aliassime<\/a>, who is the first player outside the Top 8 cut due to ninth-placed Jack Draper<\/a> being sidelined for the rest of the year with injury.<\/p>\n De Minaur, who made his debut at the prestigious year-end event in 2024, would rise to fourth in the Live Race if he captures his maiden Masters 1000 title in Shanghai.<\/p>\n Earlier, Arthur Rinderknech<\/a> backed up his win against World No. 3 Alexander Zverev<\/a> by defeating Jiri Lehecka<\/a> 6-3, 7-6(5) to reach his maiden Masters 1000 quarter-final. The Frenchman, who is up to No. 43 in the PIF ATP Live Rankings, has joined his cousin Valentin Vacherot<\/a> in the last eight. Following his win, Rinderknech wrote a message of support for qualifier Vacherot, who is the first Monegasque player to reach a tour-level quarter-final in history.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Match Report De Minaur hits big milestone, advances to Shanghai QFs & moves closer to Turin Rinderknech joins…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":209042,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[99,428],"class_list":["post-209041","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209041","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=209041"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209041\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/209042"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=209041"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=209041"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=209041"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"It](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1759925826_479_it-all-adds-up-banner.jpg\"\/)
