Alex De Minaur reaches Queen's Club final in London, beating Holger Rune to set up decider against Carlos Alcaraz

ABC  

Alex de Minaur has made another striking step towards Wimbledon by becoming the first Australian in 17 years to make the singles final at the esteemed Queen's Club Championship. Queen's Club Semi-finals Alex de Minaur def Holger Rune 6-3, 7-6 Carlos Alcaraz def Sebastian Korda 6-3, 6-4 The national men's number one earned one of the best wins of his career to defeat a rising star of the sport, Holger Rune, 6-3, 7-6 with an immaculate semi-final display on Saturday. The 20-year-old Rune delivered an error-ridden first game on serve to immediately let de Minaur cash in, and was effectively playing catch-up in vain for the rest of the match as the Australian, serving with a bit of extra heat and making just one unforced error in the opening set, never got broken. Asked if he could go one better against Alcaraz on grass after the Spaniard had to save two match points on his way to victory on the Barcelona clay last year in their only previous meeting, de Minaur smiled: "Carlos, he's finding his footing on grass and playing some great tennis.
