Alex de Minaur is Australia’s top male tennis pro. The 25-year-old is in the finest form of his career and will play in the first round of Wimbledon on Monday. I spoke to him on Thursday.: Alex, let’s rip in. Congratulations. What a hell of a year you’ve had so far – now up to No.
De Minaur with partner Katie Boulter, also a tennis pro, in Paris last month. “It’s great to have a partner in this world who knows exactly what you’re feeling every single moment.”: I just loved Lleyton Hewitt’s competitive spirit. He wasn’t the biggest, strongest guy, but he just found ways to win. And then, obviously, Roger Federer. I just fell in love with how easy he made tennis look and how he acted – the way he always made tennis kind of a gentleman’s sport.
Lleyton Hewitt and de Minaur during the 2022 David Cup clash with Hungary. “I just loved Lleyton’s competitive spirit.”: Can I be the best player in the world? Yeah, right now, what excites me most is this new era we’re in. In the past, if you wanted to be the best in the world you had to go through Roger, Rafa , and Novak , and they looked like they were going to play forever. But now everything’s opening up, and I see a lot of opportunities. No.
Alex de Minaur and his team at the 2023 US Open: L-R) Emilio Poveda Pagan, de Minaur, Matt Reid, Jason Kubler, Jonathon Kubler, Kathryn Oyeniyi and Adolfo Gutierrez.: Yes, especially the early stages in my career where, even on a good day, wringing wet, I was lucky to weigh in at 69 kilos, and Rafa’s bicep was about the size of my torso. So the physicality aspect was just like being up against this massive physical. It gave me a lot of pointers in the right direction, it was surreal.
