Alex de Minaur set up a clash with Cruz Hewitt<\/a> after defeating Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-4 3-6 6-3. <\/p>\nTsitsipas, the former world number three from Greece, had won 12 of their prior 13 encounters, but de Minaur shrugged off a shaky start to turn the tables. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Minaur next faces 17-year-old qualifier Hewitt, the son of Aussie great Lleyton Hewitt who captured his first-ever ATP Tour victory earlier this week. <\/p>\n
De Minaur joked that he won\u2019t be offended if his country\u2019s Davis Cup captain, former world number one Lleyton Hewitt, is rooting against him. <\/p>\n
\u201cI would expect him to be in his son\u2019s box, and rightfully so,\u201d de Minaur said.<\/p>\n
After making the Wimbledon junior final, Cruz claimed his first win on the ATP tour with a 6-3 6-4 victory over World No. 86 Marcos Giron.<\/p>\n
