de Minaur, ranked No. 31 in the world, ousted the No. 7 seed Jaume Munar of Spain 3-4, 4-1, 4-1 3-4, 4-2 in two hours for the place in the title match, where he’ll face Stefanos Tsitsipas.

It’s his fourth win this week in Milan.

de Minaurwas the better player on the court, playing with aggression and keeping the points on his racquet, despite missing several chances to finish the match earlier.

He served at 72% and had 10 aces, saving all five break points he faced to keep the pressure on Munar, who gave his best to stay in touch with the better-ranked rival and reach the fifth set, defending 13 out of 17 break points he faced and saving the first five match points he had to play against.

de Minaur blasted fire from his forehand to hit 43 winners and 20 unforced errors, while Munar stayed on 19 winners and 24 errors, missing too many forehands and losing the edge in the shortest points where de Minaurmade the crucial difference.
