From the early stages of the match, the Australian tennis player è adept at taking advantage of mistakes made by his rival and immediately taking a one-break lead. In the fourth game, Dimitrov went close to the counterbreak, but De Minaur managed to keep his cool and hold the serve and easily close the first partial on the score of 6-4.

In the second set, the inertia è still in favor of the Oceanic, who immediately took the lead by stealing the opponent's turn at bat. In the sixth game, the Bulgarian has an opportunity to bring himself back to par, but he does not take advantage of it. The missed opportunity, in addition, brings down even more the concentration of the 32-year-old who suffers the decisive break in the ninth game, which finally closes the games.
