Alex de Minaur continued his impressive return to form after being sidelined with injury throughout the summer as he returned to the fourth round of the US Open by outlasting an ailing Dan Evans 6-3, 6-7(4), 6-0, 6-0 on Saturday night in New York.

With his victory, De Minaur is the first Australian Open man to reach the fourth round of all four grand slam tournaments in a calendar year since Lleyton Hewitt in 2004. He is also the third Australian player to reach the second week in New York this year alongside Alexei Popyrin, who defeated Novak Djokovic on Friday night, and Jordan Thompson, his next opponent.
