Nick Kyrgios delivered another tennis masterclass to put Alex de Minaur to the sword and scorch into the quarter-finals of the Montreal Masters 1000

. De Minaur entered the first-time showdown with his Davis Cup teammate as Australian No 1, but was handed a reality check in a 6-2, 6-3 mauling at the hands of the hottest player on tour.

He briefly lost composure after failing to serve out the match at 5-2 but regained his cool to clinch victory with a ruthless fourth break of de Minaur’s serve. That would secure Kyrgios a crucial top-16 seeding in New York, ensuring the 27-year-old would not play a higher-ranked rival until at least the second week at the season’s final grand slam.

Hurkacz beat Kyrgios two months ago on the Halle grass courts and advanced to the last eight on Thursday with a fighting 6-7 6-2 7-6 third-round win over Albert Ramos-Vinolas.
