De Minaur didnt have too much trouble with his rain-delayed semi-final against G. Simon, who looked quite exhausted by the end a combination of switch to the midday heat, and a very draining last round. De Minaur had set out his stall to be aggressive when possible, hitting that flat backhand with intent and getting to the net, but it wasnt to matter much as Simon didnt have the legs to really compete. The youngster looked a bit puzzled tactically at times, not entirely unsure how to play an opponent in such shape, but it wasn't to hurt him in the end. Its an incredible feeling, no better feeling that doing it at home, in front of my family and friends, said De Minaur. On his post-match: I might hop in the ice bath, and then have a nap! Got to try recover for the final later on. Ill do everything in my power to be ready. De Minaur 29w 21ue; G. Simon 9w 17ue. De Minaur 6/3 6/2.
