Alex de Minaur delivered a stunning performance at the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters, securing a 6-0, 6-0 victory over Grigor Dimitrov in just 44 minutes. The Australian, seeded eighth in the tournament, showcased his relentless baseline play and tactical precision to dismantle Dimitrov, who struggled to find his rhythm throughout the match.
This victory marks a significant milestone for De Minaur, as it is the first time he has won a match with a double bagel scoreline. His aggressive yet calculated approach allowed him to control the pace, committing only six unforced errors in the opening set. Dimitrov, ranked No. 18, was unable to counter De Minaur’s consistency and court coverage, leading to one of the most lopsided defeats of his career.
With this win, De Minaur advances to the semi-finals, where he will face either Stefanos Tsitsipas or Lorenzo Musetti.
