Alex de Minaur (Australian tennis player) has made a significant impact at the Monte-Carlo Masters, reaching the quarterfinals for the third consecutive year. This achievement is notable as he is the only ATP player ranked inside the top 50 to have reached the quarterfinals or better across hard court, grass, and clay surfaces this season. After a challenging start to the year, where he faced early exits at the Indian Wells and Miami Open, De Minaur has shown resilience on clay. Earlier this year, he gained attention for his back-to-back victories over top players Novak Djokovic and Taylor Fritz at the United Cup. De Minaur's consistency at the Monte-Carlo event sets him apart from other top players, including Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, who have not matched his quarterfinal streak. His best performance at this tournament came last year when he reached the semifinals, and he aims to build on that success this season.
