Alex De Minaur was roared on by his young superfan as he upset Daniil Medvedev to reach his first French Open quarter-final.
The Australian had launched an appeal on social media to find the boy who had cheered every point he won throughout his rain-interrupted third-round win over Jan-Lennard Struff.
And the boy was given a front row seat on Court Suzanne Lenglen to watch his hero reach the last eight.
It was a tough afternoon for Russian fifth seed Medvedev, who took the first set but needed lengthy treatment on a horrible-looking blister in the second.
De Minaur, seeded 11, took full advantage as he completed a 4-6 6-2 6-1 6-3 victory.
“I didn’t expect to be in the quarter-finals here because I didn’t play well on clay over the last few years – so it’s surprising for me,” said De Minaur.
“Against Daniil, it’s always a tactical game. I’m so happy to have won and we’ll see how it goes in the quarter-finals.”
