What happened
De Minaur defeated Tsitsipas 6–4, 3–6, 6–3 on July 29. The ATP reported that de Minaur entered the match with a 1–12 tour-level head-to-head record against the Greek player.
The result
De Minaur won the first set, lost the second and closed the match 6–3 in the third. The official ATP result lists a match time of just over two hours.
Why it stands out
The victory was notable because Tsitsipas had dominated their previous ATP head-to-head meetings. It also kept the top seed's Washington title defense alive after rain disrupted portions of the schedule.
The rest of the bracket
Fritz advanced in straight sets, Musetti won in three and Jodar beat Kei Nishikori. Those results shape the next round, but the draw remains in progress and any preview should be checked against the updated official schedule.
