Alex de Minaur[1] (/də mɪˈnɔːr/ də mih-NOR;[3] Spanish: Álex de Miñaur,[4] pronounced [ˈaleɡz ðe miˈɲawɾ];[a] born 17 February 1999) is an Australian professional tennis player. He achieved a career-high ATP singles ranking of No. 15 on 28 June 2021 and a doubles ranking of No. 58 on 12 October 2020.

Early life and junior career[]

De Minaur was born in Sydney, Australia. His father, Anibal, is Uruguayan and his mother, Esther, is a Spaniard.[5][6][7] His father owned an Italian restaurant on George Street in Sydney and met Esther when she began working there as a waitress.[8] De Minaur has two brothers and three sisters — Dominic, Daniel, Natalie, Cristina, and Sara.[8][9]

His name is commonly pronounced /diː mɪˈnɔːr/, inspiring both his nickname of the Demon and his logo used when signing the camera lens after winning matches.

De Minaur has dual Australian and Spanish citizenship.[10] He spent the first five years of his life in the south Sydney suburb of Carss Park[11] before relocating to Alicante, Spain.[12] He completed most of his early education in Spain before returning to Australia at age 13. As of 2015, de Minaur was living in Spain.[5][8] De Minaur has stated that he has always felt a strong bond with Australia even though he has lived most of his life in Spain. In 2017, he told the Sydney Morning Herald "I used to represent Spain but I always felt I was Australian. As soon as we moved back here again that was the first thing I wanted to do — play for Australia."[13]

De Minaur is fluent in English and Spanish and also speaks some French.[14] He is currently dating British tennis player Katie Boulter.

Alex, in 2005, with his parents (back) and his first coach, Cindy Dock (left), a former Australian player. Taken in Alicante, Spain.

De Minaur began playing tennis at age three at the Sydney Private Tennis Academy at the Parkside Tennis Courts in Kogarah Bay. He was coached by Kerry Dock and then by Cindy Dock, a former Australian player.[15][16] He has been coached by Adolfo Gutierrez since he was nine years old and living in Alicante.[5] De Minaur reached a career-high ranking of 2 on the juniors circuit and won the 2016 Australian Open boys' doubles title alongside Blake Ellis.[17] Although Lleyton Hewitt has never officially been his coach, he continues to be a mentor.[18]

Playing style[]

De Minaur is famous for his incredible speed and agility on court, which have earned him the jocular title "Speed Demon" on the tour.[89] He is known for his ability to retrieve seemingly impossible balls and hit winners from defensive positions or force opponents into making mistakes. His footwork and court coverage are considered some of the best on tour, though some have questioned the physical toll it could take on his body in the long-term. Despite this, his fighting spirit, "never say die" attitude and intensity on the court have earned him a huge fan base for a young player.[90]

His baseline game suits that of a counterpuncher, often retrieving balls and slowly constructing points. However, he is also known to inject sudden pace into rallies to surprise opponents, and often opts for a one-two combination on his serve, using the serve and a powerful groundstroke to endpoints quickly. His forehand is significantly better than his backhand on the offensive, and he often uses it to construct points or hit winners when attacking.[91] De Minaur possesses a strong first serve, but his second serve is considerably weaker and usually an attacking point for opponents. His volleys were initially a weakness too, but have improved, moving towards a more transitional offensive game.[92]

Critics point out that despite his defensive capabilities, de Minaur does not possess any real weapons to hurt top opponents. Some have argued his defensive game is unsustainable physically in the long-term and is not sufficient to challenge the best players in the world as he tends to play himself out of aggressive positions. Instead, he should focus on developing his groundstrokes towards more consistent aggression to endpoints quickly.[93]

National representation[]

ATP Cup[]

De Minaur made his ATP Cup debut for Australia in January 2020, at the age of 20. He scored a victory against then world number 7 Alexander Zverev which helped Australia claimed a 3–0 victory over Germany.[94]

Davis Cup[]

He made his Davis Cup debut for Australia in February 2018, at the age of 18. He faced then world number 5 Alexander Zverev from Germany in the opening rubber and fell just short of a spectacular upset, losing in a fifth-set tiebreaker after leading 3–0, (40–Ad.) in the decider.[95]

Olympics[]

De Minaur was selected to represent Australia at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics (to be held in July 2021), but was forced to withdraw after testing positive for Covid-19.[96]
