De Minaur survives second-round test at Australian Open 2023 (Tennis Australia)

Alex de Minaur has battled past Frenchman Adrian Mannarino in four sets to continue his Australian Open 2023 winning run.

It’s crazy. “It’s incredible. Earlier today, wildcard Alexei Popyrin stunned eighth-seeded American Taylor Fritz in a five-set thriller. “It was just an absolute battle out there,” De Minaur said. There were 77 points that extended beyond nine shots, with De Minaur winning 40 of them compared to Mannarino’s 37. But it’s about staying tough and I dug really, really deep today and found an extra level that I probably didn’t know I had.”

de Minaur started to win easy points and the momentum built to be irresistible in that last set and a half. He readjusted, was happy to draw the rallies longer and managed the points better. Emboldened, de Minaur sniffed the change and moved up the gears. de Minaur lost certainty in his play and Mannarino got on top. “here’s a little song I wrote, you might want to sing it note for note, don’t worry.” The song with the reggae rhythm is a bit of an earworm so once it gets in your head it’s hard to shake.

Alex de Minaur overcomes Adrian Mannarino in gruelling three-hour ... (7NEWS.com.au)

The young Aussie tennis star drew inspiration from countryman Alexei Popyrin and now joins him in the third round.

“He inspired me and I was glad I was able to pull through.” “We’ve grown up together and he played a hell of a match,” de Minaur said. “I was on cloud nine for a whole set and a half and that’s down to you (the crowd) so let’s keep it going.” “It was a battle and I found a level I didn’t know I had,” de Minaur said. He said he had to “dig deep” to overcome the dogged left-hander. After going down a break in the fifth game of the match, the 23-year-old was able to rebound and break Mannarino straight back on John Cain Arena.
