Alex de Minaur secures Australian Open fourth-round berth after straight-sets win over Pablo Andujar

Alex de Minaur has reached the fourth round of the Australian Open for the first time in his career after defeating plucky Spaniard Pablo Andujar in straight sets.

With Rod Laver watching on inside the stadium named in his honour, de Minaur was victorious 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 in just over two hours.

He is the last Australian in the men's draw following Chris O'Connell's defeat to American Maxime Cressy earlier on Saturday.

The 22-year-old will face 11th-seeded Italian Jannik Sinner in the last 16.

A fourth-round win over the talented Sinner would see de Minaur equal his best performance at a major. He reached the US Open quarter-finals in 2020.

More to come.
