- Russian fifth seed dispatched in breakthrough four-set win
- First Australian man to reach last eight in Paris since 2004
Alex 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.
The slight Sydneysider with the big heart and electric speed came from a set down on Monday to defeat the fifth seed and former US Open champion Medvedev 4-6 6-2 6-1 6-3 to make it to just his second quarter-final in a grand slam.
