Jannik Sinner (1) and Tommy Paul (14) are up next on Ashe in a last-16 clash to round out the day, but we’ll leave it there for now with a wrap of Alex De Minaur’s four-set victory over Jordan Thompson:
Alex De Minaur praises Jordan Thompson who he says is “like a big brother to me, my Davis Cup teammate”, before the 25-year-old gives away few secrets when he says that he tries to “win every point” and “compete his heart out”.
The No 10 seed will now face Jack Draper, an opponent he has beaten in each of their three previous meetings though De Minaur is taking little from those encounters that were away from the glare of grand slam courts.
Both the Australian and British player will be chasing a first grand slam semi-final appearance when they clash on Thursday, with De Minaur into his fourth quarter-final and Draper into the last eight for the first time.
