Alex de Minaur: The Master of Consistency
Alex de Minaur, presently ranked world No. 8, has had a remarkable 2025. His 46- 17 record speaks volumes, alongside 10 career titles.
“De Minaur’s defensive skills and consistency have been remarkable,” and that shows in how he’s dominated opponents this season. He lifted the jewel in Washington and reached the later stages of events like the US Open and Monte Carlo.
Figures tell the story, too. A 58 first serve rate, winning 80 of his service games, and 218 aces in 2025 alone accentuate his capability to switch seamlessly from defence to attack. On the court, de Minaur isn’t flashy; he’s grim.
Jakub Mensik: The Young Gun
Jakub Mensik, the seventh seed and world No. 19, has been one of the season’s most exciting breakthroughs. At just 20, his 34-20 record is impressive, but it’s his Miami Open Masters 1000 triumph over Novak Djokovic that really turned heads.
Mensik hasn’t had it easy in Beijing either, battling once tough opponents like Miomir Kecmanovic and Arthur Cazaux. His serve is an armament, comprising 14 aces per match.
“His powerful serve makes him a formidable contender against any opponent,” and that makes him dangerous, indeed, against seasoned contenders like de Minaur.
Head-to-Head: Experience vs. Power
So far, de Minaur has the edge. He’s won all three previous meetings, including their latest at the Laver Cup 2025. His tactical nous and grit have consistently blunted Mensik’s firepower.
But don’t count the Czech out. “Mensik’s aggressive style and fearlessness on big stages make this contest unpredictable.” Betting odds reflect that—de Minaur is the favourite at 21/50, while Mensik is a spirited underdog (+180 to +235).

Tennis fans won’t miss a moment. The match will be broadcast globally on platforms like Tennis TV, bet365, ESPN International, and Tennis Channel. Expect intensity, long rallies, and edge-of-your-seat moments as both players fight for a spot in the semifinals.
