One of the promising prospects of tennis, Australian Alex de Minaur, had a decent 2020. Although he couldn’t continue the glory of his 2019 breakthrough year, the 21 years-old managed 13 wins over 11 losses. Between his pre-season training for 2021, the Australian revealed his expectation from the coming tour.

Also referred to as ‘Speed Demon’, Alex has impressed many tennis experts with his incredible potential. His swiftness and his long reach cannot be matched with even the greatest of the sport. However, considering his experience in tennis, he has laid out modest goals to work on.

“Make second weeks of Slams”: Alex De Minaur

In 2020, the Australian breached the quarterfinals of a major tournament for the first time at the US Open. He upset many top players including Richard Gasquet, Karen Khachanov and Vasek Pospisil. However, Alex failed to turn his odds against the eventual champion Dominic Thiem in straight sets. Get a glimpse of the encounter here.

The 21 years-old ended up as the runner-up at Antwerp in Belgium vs Ugo Humbert. Moving forward, he looks to continue the same form into the next year.

“Hopefully, as always, I want to make second weeks of Slams,” said de Minaur. “Want to go and be going deep every week, week in and week out, that’s the plan. Who knows what will happen, but that’s what I’m looking forward to and going to be pushing for.” 

Turning professional in 2005, the Australian found the limelight on him in the 2019 season where he collected three titles. He ended that year on his highest-ranking of Number 18; currently, he is ranked number 23.

Alex will next play in the 2021 Australian Open

Earlier this year, Alex withdrew from the Australian Open because of an abdominal injury. Winning a major title in his home country will be a dream come true for him. Interestingly, his first ATP title came in Sydney in 2019, where he failed in the finals in 2018.

Next year, the Australian will aim to create more upsets among the top players. Given the circumstances and challenges of playing at Melbourne Park, his young age will favour him against the rest.

Lining up with him, big names such as Roger Federer and Andy Murray are eyeing for a comeback in Australia. But recently, Federer raised some uncertainties regarding his Melbourne return.
