In an exciting matchup at the Australian Open, Alex De Miñaur, currently ranked No. 6 in the world, secured a convincing victory over Kazakhstan’s Alexander Bublik, who ranks No. 10. The match took place on January 25, 2026, in Melbourne.
De Miñaur Advances to the Quarterfinals
The 26-year-old Australian tennis player dominated Bublik with a score of 6-4, 6-1, 6-1. This victory marked his second consecutive appearance in the quarterfinals at the Australian Open. It is a notable achievement for De Miñaur, who is the last local player remaining in the tournament.
Previous Encounters with Bublik
Interestingly, De Miñaur had faced Bublik in their last two encounters, losing both times. This win not only demonstrated his improvement but also marked a significant moment in his career as he had yet to defeat a top 10 player at the Australian Open.
Looking Ahead: Quarterfinals Showdown with Alcaraz
Having reached the quarterfinal stage, De Miñaur aims for his first Grand Slam semifinal by facing the tournament’s top seed, Carlos Alcaraz, on Tuesday. Last year, he was eliminated in the quarterfinals by Jannik Sinner, who went on to win the championship.
As anticipation builds for this showdown between De Miñaur and Alcaraz, fans are excited to see if the Australian can rise to the occasion and make a historic semifinal appearance.
