Australian Alex de Minaur (10 ATP) defeated the Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov (18 ATP), score 6-0, 6-0, in the quarterfinals of Monte Carlo. Only 45 minutes took the match.
The first important tournament of the slag season continues to offer surprises. After Novak Djokovic and Alexander Zverev left the competition prematurely, there came a result that amazes through the proportion of the score.
Grigor Dimitrov, without reply in front of Alex de Minaur
Grigor Dimitrov, a quarterfinalist in 2024 at Roland Garros, failed to win a range in front of Alex de Minaur.
The Australian, perhaps the fastest player in the circuit, has reached every Bulgarian attack. Grigor ended the match with an unlikely statistic, a single winning blow and 23 unforced errors. On the other side, Alex was only wrong in 8 lines.
The total report of the points won in the match was 48-15, statistics rarely encountered at this level. The dispute took only 45 minutes!

For the Australian player it is the first semifinal on the slag in a Master level tournament.
It was also the first victory for professionals without gamma. Asked about this aspect, Minaur said: “I didn't know that. All I remembered was that I lost 0-6, 0-6, against Tommy Paul, in the semifinals of the US Open. What crazy!”
In the semifinals, Minaur will come across the winner between Lorenzo Musetti (16 ATP) and Stefanos Tsitsipas (8 ATP).
