"I'm happy to keep going every day, I'm getting a little bit better and I'm looking forward to what's to come," De Minaur said. Although ranked 125 in the world, Virtanen looked like a seasoned professional and was soon 5-2 up, but that was just the wake-up call De Minaur needed as the Australian reeled off seven consecutive games to take the set and go 2-0 up in the second.
