International Desk: French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday named the European Union's former Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier as new prime minister, following almost two months of political deadlock after snap polls, the presidency said. Barnier, 73, the oldest premier in the history of modern France, has been tasked with forming "a unifying government in the service of the country", the presidency added.However, fifth-ranked Medvedev flipped the script with a double break of his own to level the quarter-final. In a to-and-fro battle, Sinner returned the favour by racing through the third set in just 30 minutes. Medvedev patiently carved out two break points in the sixth game of the fourth set, both of which were saved. That allowed Sinner to grab the initiative with the crucial break for 4-3 before going on to seal the victory. Medvedev had to save 10 of 15 break points in the tie while his dream of making a 10th Slam semi-final was undermined by 57 unforced errors.
