Alex de Minaur[1] (/də mɪˈnɔːr/ DƏ-_-MIH-nor;[2] Spanish: Álex de Miñaur Román,[3] pronounced: [ˈaleɡz ðe miˈɲawɾ];[lower-alpha 1] 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.[4][5][6] His father owned an Italian restaurant on George Street in Sydney and met Esther when she began working there as a waitress.[7] De Minaur has two brothers and three sisters — Dominic, Daniel, Natalie, Cristina, and Sara.[7][8]

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

De Minaur has dual Australian and Spanish citizenship.[9] He spent the first five years of his life in the south Sydney suburb of Carss Park[10] before relocating to Alicante, Spain.[11] 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.[4][7] 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."[12]

De Minaur is fluent in English and Spanish and also speaks some French.[13]

Playing style

De Minaur is famous for his speed and agility on court, which have earned him the jocular title "Speed Demon" on the tour.[105] 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.[106]

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.[107] 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.[108]

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 end points quickly.[109]

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 No.7 Alexander Zverev which helped Australia claim a 3–0 victory over Germany.[110] In 2022 he beat world No. 7 Matteo Berrettini 6–3, 7–6.

Davis Cup

He made his Davis Cup debut for Australia in February 2018, at the age of 18. He faced then world No.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.[111]

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.[112]
