De Minaur has only lost one set at the Australian Open so far. In the first round, he defeated Canadian Milos Raonic in three games. With the score 6-7, 6-3, 2-0, Raonic withdrew due to injury. De Minaur then beat with great confidence the two Italians Matteo Arnaldi (6-3, 6-0, 6-3) and Flavio Cobolli (6-3, 6-3, 6-1). Now his first serious rival awaits him in the person of Rublev.

Rublev started the tournament with a match against Thiago Wilde and immediately ran into big problems. The Russian won two sets, but then his game collapsed. The Brazilian took the initiative and equalized the score. However, in the deciding match, Rublev pulled himself together and won the championship tie-break – 7-5, 6-4, 3-6, 4-6, 7-6.
In the second and third rounds, Rublev had no more problems and he beat his American opponents quite quickly and in three sets. Andrey defeated Christopher Eubanks 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 and Sebastian Korda – 6-2, 7-6(6), 6-4.
Rublev and De Minaur have faced each other five times on the ATP Tour, with Alex leading the encounters with a score of 3-2. Their last meeting took place at the 2023 Paris Masters, where the Russian beat the Australian 4-6, 6-3, 6-1.
