The 26-year-old\u2019s powerful and precise groundstrokes proved too much even for the retrieval skills of Medvedev, who dropped serve in seven of his eight service games.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve played each other many times and played each other on basically every surface,\u201d said De Minaur after improving to 4-7 in his Lexus ATP Head2Head series with Medvedev. \u201cI tried to draw a lot on our last match at\u00a0Roland Garros\u00a0[in 2024] and see what worked for me.

Yet there was no lack of confidence in the way the Australian powered past Medvedev in 72 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMore than anything, I\u2019m just finding my feet on clay,\u201d said De Minaur. \u201cIt\u2019s taken me a while in my career, but I finally understand what I need to do to be effective on this surface. I can be dangerous on this surface, so I\u2019m very happy to play here and start off the clay swing with some good matches.
