‘Hell of a fight’: Alex De Minaur goes down swinging as first Australian to make French Open quarter-final in decades
Zverev and De Minaur delivered a remarkable match for fans as the fourth and eleventh-ranked players tested each other’s backhands at Philippe Chatrier Court. However, De Minaur proved resilient and won the opening game of the second set without conceding a single point but was pushed all the way to a tiebreak by Zverev’s more-than-200km/h serves.
Alex De Minaur was unable to capitalise on his first serves against the 196cm-tall German.
