Alex de Minaur has just made history by eliminating the highest seed in the French Open singles competition, Daniil Medvedev. The fifth-seeded Australian faced a tough battle on the court but ultimately emerged victorious with a score of 4-6 6-2 6-1 6-3 at Roland Garros.
In the fourth set, De Minaur’s speed and agility on the court proved to be a significant advantage, allowing him to keep the points alive and force errors from Medvedev. Despite his frustration and visible displeasure on the court, Medvedev remained focused and determined to win. However, a crucial mistake on his backhand gave De Minaur the break point he needed to secure victory.
Daniil Medvedev was previously considered unbeatable in this tournament, but he struggled with blisters on his feet during the match and required treatment in the second set. After returning from a medical timeout, he lost nine out of the next ten games to his opponent. Although he showed signs of improvement in the fourth set, it was not enough to overcome De Minaur’s impressive play.
This victory marks a significant milestone for De Minaur, who is now one step closer to winning his first Grand Slam title. Following his unexpected success in Paris, De Minaur expressed his excitement and appreciation for the tournament, declaring “I love it here!” as he celebrated his win.
Throughout the match, De Minaur was supported by a young super-fan who cheered enthusiastically from the stands. Inspired by the boy’s unwavering support, De Minaur invited him to attend the match and credited him with helping him secure victory. The energetic presence of the young fan, along with De Minaur’s skill and determination, undoubtedly played a role in his success on the court.
Looking ahead, De Minaur will face either Alexander Zverev or Holger Rune in the quarter-finals as he continues his impressive run at Roland Garros. With this newfound support from fans and teammates alike, De Minaur is poised to make a strong impact in these final stages of competition.
