Alex de Minaur says the U.S. Open is his 'best slam', through to the quarterfinals for the third time. He beat Leandro Riedi 6-3, 6-2, 6-1.

Flushing

Australian tennis player Alex de Minaur secured a place in the US Open quarter-finals for the third time, defeating Swiss qualifier Leandro Riedi in straight sets. De Minaur has yet to face a top 50 opponent in the tournament, but is set to meet Felix Auger-Aliassime in the next round, who recently bested Andre Rublev.

Elsewhere, world number one Jannik Sinner continued his strong performance, advancing with a dominant win over Alexander Bublik. Naomi Osaka reached her first Grand Slam quarter-final since becoming a mother, defeating Coco Gauff in straight sets and expressing her joy at returning to form.

Alex de Minaur advances to U.S. Open quarterfinals

Wouldn't happen in Melbourne. Plenty of empty seats as Alex Dimonor got himself psyched for a fourth round encounter. It's been a saloon passage for the Australian so far. His opponent this time, Swiss qualifier, Leandro Riedi. A quick match is a good match. Dimonor not wasting energy in a 6-3, 6-2, 6-1 win. A US Open quarter-finalist for the third time. We look at results. I think this is by far my best slam. Dimonor hasn't faced a player in the top 50, but there's alarms flashing with Felix Auger-Aliassime next in line. A world beater on his day, the Canadian outclassed Andre Rublev. The mindset going forward is going to be going for it. There's no holding back. The winner of that match likely to run into Yannick Sinner, who's hitting the right notes and in vogue in New York. The world number one steamrolled Alexander Bublik, who celebrated winning a single game in each set. Sinner threw 6-1, 6-1, 6-1. Naomi Osaka is a quarter-finalist in a major for the first time in four and a half years. She swept aside Koko Goff 6-3, 6-2. This her most notable result since becoming a mum two years ago. I'm a little sensitive and I don't want to cry, but honestly, I just had so much fun out here. She took another shiny LeBubu to her press conference for show and tell. Bence Hamerly, 10 News.
