Alex de Minaur is eliminated from the US Open in the second round after losing in straight sets to Botic van de Zandschulp. All outlets report the match ends early in the tournament for de Minaur.
The reporting agrees on the outcome and the stage of the exit: a second-round defeat in New York that does not require a deciding set. While each article characterizes the result as a surprise, none of the sources cite additional context such as the exact set scores, match statistics, or reasons behind the performance. Instead, they focus on the straight-sets nature of the loss and the early finish for de Minaur.
With four outlets covering the same event, the main difference lies in wording, using phrasing such as “shock” and “thrashed,” rather than adding distinct facts. The consensus remains that van de Zandschulp defeats de Minaur in straight sets, ending de Minaur’s US Open run after two rounds.
