Alex de Minaur says a challenging 2020 season amid the coronavirus pandemic is "fuelling the hunger" for his bid to climb the rankings this year and achieve his best finish at a major.
"2020 was a tough year. Obviously I had my best result at a Slam but it doesn't feel like my best achievement," de Minaur said. "It was still a dark time. I wasn't feeling great. It was just mentally — I wouldn't say — my best performance. "I ended up putting a couple of matches together and I had my best result. It's still something to be proud of but still 2020 as a whole, I would say, I had a lot of expectations for it and … it's just fuelling the hunger for 2021, to make it even better."De Minaur has one more week in quarantine in Melbourne as he prepares for the Australian Open. He is able to leave his hotel room only to train."I'm sure that will feel amazing," de Minaur said.
Wow he's the only person in the world that has gone through a 'dark time' in 2020. And for such an important thing as sport....The rest of us Australians have just breezed through the year
There's a lot to like about Alex de Minaur.

Changes in workplace behaviour and culture brought about by challenges of 2020 | Sky News AustraliaThe events of 2020 have made organisations realise the way to succeed is to treat employees with dignity and foster a good workplace culture, according to Workplace Culture Expert Collin D Ellis.\n\n“I think for too long … for the last 15-20 years, I think leaders have walked past some of the kinds of behaviours that have really undermined the safety in our workplace cultures,” he told Sky News.\n\nMr Ellis said organizations have tolerated “brilliant jerks” who are technically good at what they do but don’t know how to behave in the office for too long. \n\n“I think leaders have got a responsibility this year to reset the expectations because the world is a very different place behaviourally, not only of leadership teams but of employees as well,” he said.\n\nMr Ellis told Sky News leaders need to define the culture of their workplaces to move forward positively in 2021.\n\n“They need to put that in the hands of the people that own it,” he said.\n\n“Culture is the sum of everyone’s attitudes, beliefs, behaviours, traditions and skills.\n\n“It doesn’t belong to a leadership team; it belongs to the staff”. \n Id say make sure their pay and conditions are what is required by the award first What garbage - the only thing organisations learnt in 2020 was how to scam JobKeeper Based on what data analysis? Or is this just another paid opinion?
