Seventh-seeded Alex de Minaur became the third player this season to win 50 tour-level games by defeating Nuno Borges 7-5, 6-2 at the Shanghai Masters.

De Minaur hit 19 winners on the way to reach his seventh Masters 1000 quarter-final in one hour and 47 minutes.

Only top-ranked Carlos Alcaraz with 67 wins and Taylor Fritz with 50 have already reached the 50-win mark in 2025. The Aussie has won more matches than world No.2 Jannik Sinner this year, primarily due to the Italian's inactivity during his doping ban. Advertisement

"For me, it just shows consistency and that is what I am most proud of," said de Minaur of his landmark.
