Alex de Minaur overtakes Pat Rafter with only Lleyton Hewitt to catch in one area after latest win in Shanghai.
Alex de Minaur has advanced to the Shanghai Masters round of 16 after defeating Kamil Majchrzak on Monday.
De Minaur has been one of the most consistent ATP Tour players throughout 2025, picking up a title in Washington and regularly featuring in the latter stages of events.
His strong form continued on Sunday, defeating his Polish opponent 6-1, 7-5.
Fans of the Australian will be hoping de Minaur can take his game to the next level during the latter portion of 2025, after revealing a change he has made to try and compete with Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.
The Australian already ranks among the greatest players Australia have ever produced, and his latest victory in Shanghai saw him usurp one of his Australian peers.
