Less than 48 hours after celebrating an impressive tournament win in the Netherlands, Alex de Minaur has had to rewrite his plans for Wimbledon after suffering an upset loss at Queen's.

Less than 48 hours after celebrating an impressive tournament win in the Netherlands, Alex de Minaur has had to rewrite his plans for Wimbledon after suffering an upset loss at Queen's.

But the number-two seed began to show signs of his exertions in winning in s'Hertogenbosch and his Italian opponent took advantage of a few errors to level the match in the second. "It was a very quick turnaround from s'Hertogenbosch. I did my best to adapt and thought I came out really well. I had so many chances in the second set. It is one of the few matches where I would walk off and say, 'I think I got unlucky.'"

He won 44 and 86 per cent of points when returning Musetti's first and second serves respectively in the opening set, but 19 and 50 per cent in the third. His own serve dropped off too.
