Both the players have had a cakewalk wins in the quarterfinals. Australian de Minaur trounced Nikoloz Basilashvili in straight sets 2-6, 4-6. This wins means that de Minaur still hasn’t dropped a set in this tournament. His previous wins in the tournament against Adrian Andreev and Malek Jaziri were no less than a drubbing.
