He will face Vasek Pospisil, after the Canadian sprang a huge upset to beat eighth seed Roberto Bautista Agut 7-5 2-6 4-6 6-3 6-2."I'm happy that I got through it and I managed to kind of turn things around," De Minaur said. "It was a tough one.
"[I'm] definitely building some confidence. Hopefully I can keep this momentum going and just keep playing some good tennis." Canadian veteran Pospisil is ranked just 94th but is clearly in fine form. Thompson will face Croatian 27th seed Borna Coric, who launched an incredible comeback win over fourth seeded Greek star Stefanos Tsitsipas.
De Minaur, the world No.28, is hoping that both he and Thompson can continue their New York run. They have become the first Aussie male pair to reach the fourth round of a US Open since Lleyton Hewitt and Pat Rafter in 2001; the year Hewitt beat Pete Sampras in the final to win his first Grand Slam title.
