He is yet to win one but is the favourite against the 25th seed Auger-Aliassime.<\/p>\n

Auger-Aliassime holds a 2-1 career record against de Minaur.<\/p>\n

"Super proud of what I'm doing and ultimately this is where I want to be," de Minaur said.<\/p>\n

"I want to be playing for big titles, I want to be in contention. I'm putting myself in the right places. I've got another great opportunity coming up in the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n

"I'm going to go out there and have a swing."<\/p>\n

As per usual, the understated de Minaur is flying under the radar in New York.<\/p>\n

\"Alex<\/p>\n

Despite his high ranking and also reaching the quarter-finals of \ufeffthe 2020 and 2024 US Opens, organisers made him play his second and third round matches on Court 17 – the smallest of the four stadium venues in the precinct.<\/p>\n

"It is a little of a head scratcher for me, I'm not gonna lie," de Minaur said after beating Germany's Daniel Altmaier in the third round.<\/p>\n

"I've got nothing against Court 17, I've played some good matches on that court, but I kind of felt like maybe I could have played on a bigger court.<\/p>\n

\"Alex<\/p>\n

"But, hey, the way I kind of look at these things when things kind of don't play out the way I want them is just, I've got to win more matches, right?<\/p>\n

"If I win enough matches, I'm sure I'll play on bigger courts."<\/p>\n

Auger-Aliassime, meanwhile, said stepping back onto Arthur Ashe Stadium "felt even better than the first time" as he returned to the quarter-finals with a composed 7-5, 6-3, 6-4 win over Andrey Rublev.<\/p>\n

\"Felix<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old, reaching his first major quarter-final since the 2022 Australian Open, kept his cool to notch his second victory in nine meetings with the Russian.<\/p>\n

The Canadian admitted the moment carried extra weight after battling injuries and dips in confidence since his 2021 breakthrough semi-final run at Flushing Meadows.<\/p>\n

"Today is my first time playing Arthur Ashe in a few years. It feels even better than the first time," Auger-Aliassime said.<\/p>\n

"In '21, I was on my way back and had a few setbacks and injuries, struggles with confidence. To come back here for the second time, it feels better and more deserved. I'm soaking in every moment here."<\/p>\n

Coming off a stunning win over world number three Alexander Zverev, Auger-Aliassime credited his mental approach for back-to-back statement victories.<\/p>\n

"It is always a battle, and it was important for me to stay ahead and keep putting pressure on to the last point," he said.<\/p>\n

"In those tight moments, you want to come with the right state of mind. There's a lot of excitement around in our world today, but on the court, we need to be calm-headed in those big pressure moments."<\/p>\n

The result sends Auger-Aliassime into his fourth career major quarter-final, as he looks to mirror his 2021 run to the semis, where he fell to eventual champion Daniil Medvedev.<\/p>\n
