LONDON, June 17 - Top seed Alex de Minaur dispatched Canadian Denis Shapovalov with ease to move into the Queen's Club quarter-finals on Wednesday where he will face American Brandon Nakashima.
World number six de Minaur produced a clinical display on a sunny Andy Murray Arena to win 6-4 6-1 in little more than an hour -- improving his record over Shapovalov to 6-0.
De Minaur stepped up a level from the previous day when he beat another Canadian, Gabriel Diallo, looking every bit the accomplished grass-court player that he is.
Next up is Nakashima, who eased to a 6-2 6-2 victory over Peru's Ignacio Buse.
