A one-in-a-million play, the rival couldn’t believe it. A unique scene at the US Open [VIDEO].
Wednesday evening brought us yet another wave of great emotions at the 2025 US Open, this time already tied to the quarterfinals of the Grand Slam battles. Among those in action were Felix Auger-Aliassime and Alex de Minaur, and during their clash, there was a rally that… was almost impossible to imagine, yet it became reality. All of it, of course, to the delight of the crowd gathered in the stands.
The 2025 US Open will officially conclude this coming weekend, but until then we will undoubtedly witness at least a few more thrilling matches and spectacular shots.
Still, when it comes to the latter, few plays will likely compare to what happened during the quarterfinal showdown between Felix Auger-Aliassime and Alex de Minaur in the men’s singles.
A festival of spectacular shots. The rally between de Minaur and Auger-Aliassime won’t be forgotten
Almost at the start of the second set, during the third game, the two players found themselves close to the net after a longer rally. At that moment, the Canadian tried to lob the Australian, but not only did de Minaur get to the ball, he also pulled off an incredible move: the famous “hot dog” or “tweener,” a shot between the legs, which he followed up with another lob. Auger-Aliassime then attempted to respond in the same fashion, but in the end… he hit the net, seemingly unable to believe what had just happened.
