Prepare for an all-out tennis showdown as these two compatriots fight for glory.
Amidst the success of De Minaur, it's simply staggering to think about how the world of tennis has evolved, with the Australian contingent making big waves throughout the tournament. Just this year, Alexei Popyrin also made headlines by sneaking into the fourth round, proving that Australia is breeding a solid generation of tennis talent.
