Australian tennis player Alex de Minaur has reached the quarterfinals of the French Open for the first time, marking the first time an Australian man has done so in 20 years. De Minaur credited his success to the support of a passionate young French fan named Paul, whom he referred to as his 'lucky charm.' De Minaur's victory over Daniil Medvedev on Monday was a significant achievement, and he expressed his gratitude towards Paul, saying he listened to him on every point. Greater self-belief is helping De Minaur reach 'pretty extraordinary' new heights at Roland-Garros.
