It was a clinical performance from de Minaur who’s had a stunning week at the tournament.

But he saved his best tennis for Tiafoe, who put up a good fight in the semifinal.

His forehand was his biggest weapon though, as he managed to dominate play and cramp up Tiafoe’s usually powerful hitting.

He made the final in 2018, only to lose to current World No. 6, Stefanos Tsitsipas.

He’ll also face the biggest payday of his career if he wins the final on Saturday. de Minaur will receive $429,000 if he wins the tournament.
