Alex de Minaur advanced to the fourth round of the US Open after defeating Dan Evans in a four-set match with scores of 6-3, 6-7(4), 6-0, 6-0. This victory marks de Minaur's fourth time reaching the second week in New York, his best performance in any Grand Slam. The Australian player, ranked #10, will face fellow Australian Jordan Thompson in the next round, ensuring an Australian presence in the quarterfinals. De Minaur has reached at least the fourth round in eight of the last twelve majors, including two quarterfinal appearances this year. The match saw a crowd reaction as some spectators booed, but de Minaur responded by shushing them. This achievement also highlights that an Australian hasn't accomplished such a feat in 20 years, with Alexei Popyrin also making it to the last 16.
