The Aussie won the first set, but things went quickly downhill from there.
De Minaur played some inspired attacking tennis early to raise hopes of an upset win before the third-seeded 2021 Open champion powered to a 2-6 6-4 6-1 6-2 triumph.
Runner-up in 2019 before denying Novak Djokovic a calendar-year grand slam sweep two years ago, Medvedev advances to an all-Russian quarter-final against eighth seed Andrey Rublev. But a spectacular tweener from Medvedev during a 34-shot winning rally sparked the Russian into action midway through the second set.
