Alex de Minaur Exits US Open in Second Round

Alex de Minaur has been eliminated from the US Open, losing in straight sets to Botic van de Zandschulp in the second round. The match concluded with scores of 6-4, 7-5, and 6-2, lasting two hours and 43 minutes.

De Minaur, who had previously won all four encounters against the Dutch player, struggled significantly during this match, committing 29 unforced errors and seven double faults. This performance marked a stark contrast to his earlier victory over van de Zandschulp at the Rotterdam ATP event earlier this year.

With De Minaur's departure, wildcard Dane Sweeny remains the only Australian competitor in the men's singles draw, having secured a win against world number 14 Lorenzo Musetti.
