But how is de Minaur feeling before starting his campaign at Melbourne Park?

“We’ll just have to wait and see … I heard a pretty good quote: ‘How big would you dream if you knew you couldn’t fail?’ That’s been the motto, I’m pushing myself every day and hopefully, the sky’s the limit. I’m extremely happy … my level is in a good spot coming into Melbourne. 2024 has been very good to me, hopefully, I can keep it going,” Alex de Minaur said.
