Alex de Minaur picked up his first title of the season last time out, as he began his US Open preparations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Travelling to DC, De Minaur defeated Alejandro Davidovich Fokina<\/a> in a three-set thriller to clinch the Washington Open title.<\/p>\n

The title was De Minaur\u2019s<\/a> 10th of his career, as the Australian returned to the top ten following the tournament.<\/p>\n

Carrying that momentum forward to the Canadian Open<\/a>, De Minaur eased into the third round with a straight-sets win over Francisco Comesana.<\/p>\n

Playing some of the best tennis of his ATP Tour<\/a> career, De Minaur will no doubt be hoping to make a deep run in New York next month.<\/p>\n

Assessing his US Open<\/a> chances, one former Aussie tennis star has said what will need to happen for De Minaur to win the title at Flushing Meadows.<\/p>\n

Luke Saville says the draw will need to \u2018open up\u2019 for Alex de Minaur to win the US Open<\/p>\n

During the latest episode of \u2018The Tennis\u2019, 2020 Australian Open<\/a> doubles finalist Luke Saville responded when asked if De Minaur can win the US Open.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is definitely tough,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think I saw a clip the other day that he just keeps rocking up, every Grand Slam, and he is making the fourth round, quarterfinal.<\/p>\n\nGrand Slam<\/strong><\/td>\nPerformance<\/strong><\/td>\nOpponent<\/strong><\/td>\nScore<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n2024 Australian Open<\/td>\nLost in 4R<\/td>\nAndrey Rublev<\/td>\n4-6, 7-6, 7-6, 3-6, 0-6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n2024 French Open<\/td>\nLost in QF<\/td>\nAlexander Zverev<\/td>\n4-6, 6-7, 4-6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n2024 Wimbledon<\/td>\nLost in QF<\/td>\nNovak Djokovic<\/td>\nW\/O<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n2024 US Open<\/td>\nLost in QF<\/td>\nJack Draper<\/td>\n3-6, 5-7, 2-6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n2025 Australian Open<\/td>\nLost in QF<\/td>\nJannik Sinner<\/td>\n3-6, 2-6, 1-6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n2025 French Open<\/td>\nLost in 2R<\/td>\nAlexander Bublik<\/td>\n6-2, 6-2, 4-6, 3-6, 2-6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n2025 Wimbledon<\/td>\nLost in 4R<\/td>\nNovak Djokovic<\/td>\n6-1, 4-6, 4-6, 4-6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Alex de Minaur\u2019s results at Grand Slams since the beginning of 2024<\/p>\n

\u201cI think if we are honest, we probably just need a little bit of a draw opening because those top two [Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz], especially, are pretty unreal right now, and if they keep going, he has to beat both of them to win a Slam.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is difficult, to say the least.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo we need a little bit of love, but he is definitely showing up at every Grand Slam and getting into that second week consistently, so it\u2019s great to see.\u201d<\/p>\n

De Minaur certainly won\u2019t be the favorite to win the US Open, but could well enter the tournament as a \u2018dark horse\u2019, having picked up several good results at the event over the years.<\/p>\n

Alex de Minaur\u2019s impressive record at the US Open<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old has won more matches at the Australian Open and US Open (18) than at any other Grand Slam event.<\/p>\n

On two occasions, De Minaur has qualified for the quarterfinals in New York, and he\u2019ll likely be a contender to reach a third in 2025.<\/p>\n\nGrand Slam<\/strong><\/td>\nBest result<\/strong><\/td>\nWin\/Loss record<\/strong><\/td>\nWin %<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nAustralian Open<\/td>\nQF \u2013 2025<\/td>\n18-8<\/td>\n69%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nFrench Open<\/td>\nQF \u2013 2024<\/td>\n8-9<\/td>\n47%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nWimbledon<\/td>\nQF \u2013 2024<\/td>\n13-6<\/td>\n68%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nUS Open<\/td>\nQF \u2013 2020, 2024<\/td>\n18-8<\/td>\n69%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
