Alex de Minaur's late-season surge towards again featuring in the end-of-season ATP Finals has continued with the Australian ace enjoying a landmark day as he roared into the last-16 at the Shanghai Masters.
But not for the first time, 'Demon' will be the only Aussie left standing in the singles at a Masters 1000 event after his two compatriots Chris O'Connell and Aleksandar Vukic both went tumbling out of the tournament on Saturday.
De Minaur proved far too good for world No.45 Camilo Ugo Carabelli, despatching the Argentine 6-4 6-2 in just 88 minutes to annex a personal-best 48th victory of the season.
