Alex De Minaur, an Australian tennis player, astounded many at the French Open in Paris by making it to the quarterfinals. This 25-year-old athlete managed to overcome Daniil Medvedev, a Russian player and the world's fifth-ranked one, with a score of 4:6, 6:2, 6:1, 6:3.
Playing on clay courts isn't De Minaur's forte, and he's only reached the quarterfinals in two Grand Slam tournaments in total. His third-round win against Jan-Lennard Struff, a German pro, had put him in a position to potentially face Alexander Zverev's opponent in the next round. However, Zverev would have to win his subsequent match either against Holger Rune, a Dane, which would start not before 8:15 p.m.
Medvedev was supposed to be the favored competitor in this match, despite not being particularly skilled on clay. While losing 2:3 in the second set, he experienced blisters on his feet and had to be tended to. This may have negatively impacted his performance for the rest of the game.
