Sydneysider battles back from set down to win 4-6, 6-2, 6-1, 6-3 and become the first Australian man to reach the last eight in Paris since 2004
French Open: Alex de Minaur beats Daniil Medvedev to march into quarter-finalsFirst Australian man to reach last eight in Paris since 2004Alex de Minaur has broken new ground in his flourishing career, dismantling one of the game’s powerhouses Daniil Medvedev to become the first Australian man to make the French Open quarter-finals in two decades.
Medvedev had knocked out de Minaur in last year’s US Open and held a 6-2 head-to-head advantage over him but on the clay the Russian has never enjoyed, it was the Australian who employed all the key moves to set up a last-eight date with either Olympic champion Alexander Zverev or Denmark’s 13th seed Holger Rune.
Medvedev missed out on four break points in the opening game but cashed in when de Minaur double-faulted to grab the break that ultimately sealed the opener.
