Australian reaches last eight at Roland Garros for first time

De Minaur defeats Medvedev in straight sets, 4-6, 6-2, 6-1, 6-3

Alex de Minaur has become the first Australian man in 20 years to reach the quarterfinals of the Roland Garros tournament. De Minaur defeated world No. 5 Daniil Medvedev in straight sets, 4-6, 6-2, 6-1, 6-3, on Monday in a match that lasted for two hours and 45 minutes.

The 23-year-old De Minaur is now the highest-ranked Australian man in the world. He is currently ranked No. 20 in the ATP rankings. His victory over Medvedev is a major upset, as Medvedev is one of the favorites to win the tournament.

De Minaur's victory is a major boost for Australian tennis. It has been 20 years since an Australian man reached the quarterfinals of Roland Garros. The last Australian man to do so was Lleyton Hewitt in 2002.

De Minaur's victory is also a major upset for Medvedev. Medvedev is the reigning US Open champion and is considered one of the best players in the world. He was the favorite to win the tournament, but De Minaur played a superb match to defeat him.
