Australia's top-ranked men's tennis player Alex de Minaur will play in his first French Open quarterfinal after beating US Open champion Daniil Medvedev in four sets at Roland Garros.
Australia's top-ranked men's tennis player Alex de Minaur has reached the quarterfinals of the French Open for the first time.He is the first Australian man to go through to the last eight at Roland Garros since Lleyton Hewitt in 2004.Medvedev had treatment on his right foot during the second set for what he said was a blister."I want to say thank you to everyone. It was an incredible atmosphere.
De Minaur drew loud cheers from the crowd as he retrieved shots relentlessly to mount a late comeback attempt, but Medvedev wrapped up the opening set with little fuss to briefly dampen his opponent's spirits. Djokovic, 37, the defending champion at Roland Garros, broke a tie with Roger Federer for the most match wins at major tournaments — and also for the most grand slam quarterfinals for a man by reaching the 59th of his career.
