Alex de Minaur ended a 20-year Australian wait at the French Open by defeating Daniil Medvedev 4-6, 6-2, 6-1, 6-3, advancing to his first Roland Garros quarterfinal. He’s the first Australian man to reach this stage since Lleyton Hewitt in 2004. De Minaur overcame a set down and capitalized on Medvedev’s mid-match struggles, including a foot blister. Meanwhile, Aryna Sabalenka continued her strong performance, defeating Emma Navarro 6-2, 6-3 to reach the quarterfinals without dropping a set. Sabalenka, ranked second in the world, will face either Varvara Gracheva or Mirra Andreeva next.
