On June 3rd, local time, the 2024 French Open continued into its ninth day of competition. Fifth seed Daniil Medvedev was knocked out in a comeback by Alex de Minaur, losing 6-4, 2-6, 1-6, 3-6 and failing to advance to the quarterfinals.
De Minaur had an 0-6 head-to-head record against Medvedev in their previous eight encounters, but this marked their first meeting on clay. Medvedev started strong, capitalizing on seven break points in De Minaur’s first two service games and secured the opening set 6-4.
However, the tide turned in the second set. After being broken in the sixth game, Medvedev failed to regain his serve, allowing De Minaur to level the match with a 6-2 win. The loss of the second set rattled Medvedev, while De Minaur gained momentum, dominating the third set 6-1.
Despite breaking back after being broken in the fourth set, Medvedev couldn’t hold on, succumbing to De Minaur’s upset. This marked De Minaur’s first appearance in the French Open quarterfinals. He will face either Rune or Zverev in the next round.
Earlier, in a women’s singles Round of 16 match, second seed Aryna Sabalenka swept past E. Navarro, avenging her defeat at Indian Wells earlier this year, and secured her place in the Roland Garros quarterfinals for the second consecutive year.
