Paris, June 3 (Reporter) Alex de Minaur ended a 20-year Australian drought at the French Open on Monday, overcoming fifth seed Daniil Medvedev 4-6, 6-2, 6-1, 6-3 to advance to his first Roland Garros quarterfinal. De Minaur, seeded 11th, became the first Australian to reach the last eight at the clay-court Grand Slam since Lleyton Hewitt in 2004. The victory on Suzanne Lenglen Court was aided by Medvedev's mid-match struggle with a foot problem. Medvedev, a former Paris quarterfinalist, had a strong record against De Minaur, having lost only twice in their previous eight encounters. He secured an early break in the third game and took the first set without much trouble, despite De Minaur's persistent defense. However, De Minaur rallied in the second set, profiting from Medvedev's unforced errors and a medical timeout for blisters. With the momentum on his side, the 25-year-old Australian surged to a 5-1 lead in the third set and sealed it convincingly. In the fourth set, De Minaur and Medvedev exchanged early breaks before De Minaur pulled ahead to secure a memorable win. This victory marks a significant milestone for De Minaur and Australian tennis...////...
