Alex de Minaur rallied from a set and a break down to beat 🇨🇦 Denis Shapovalov 6-7 (6), 6-4, 6-2 as Australia moved atop Group F at 2-0 in the new ATPCup.
Alex de Minaur secured the match when he rallied from a set and a break down to beat Denis Shapovalov 6-7 , 6-4, 6-2 later Sunday at Pat Rafter Arena.
The six group winners and the two best second-place teams advance to the playoffs in Sydney next week, and Australia is a good shot of making it. Two days after launching his cash for aces plan to raise funds for the national wildfire recovery effort, Kyrgios pulled out of his scheduled match against Felix Auger-Aliassime in Brisbane because of a sore back. No. 48-ranked Millman stepped in to win 6-4, 6-2.
Other athletes and celebrities have also pledged to donate to the cause. Organizers of the ATP Cup are also pledging donations per ace in the competition, and Australian Open organizers are planning a major fundraising event in Melbourne on Jan. 15, five days before the season’s first Grand Slam tournament begins.
