De Miñaur: “My best moment is yet to come, I will overcome barriers in the next four years”
The Australian shows great determination to improve and displays tremendous optimism regarding what the ceilings in his career could be.
Self-confidence, maximum motivation, and a mindset forged with toughness after hitting rock bottom. Álex de Miñaur does not want to settle for being a solid top-20 player and sporadically making it into the top 10 in the world, but rather sees potential to improve his performance. At 26 years old, he has reasons to believe that the greatest achievements of his career are yet to come.
The story of Álex de Miñaur is that of a tireless worker who has been steadily progressing and stepping out of his comfort zone to adapt to the demands of modern tennis. With remarkable foot speed and a great ability to counterattack by harnessing opponents’ shot power, the Australian has continued to strive to become a more complete and aggressive player. Having been defeated five times in Grand Slam quarterfinals and without any Grand Slam titles in his record, he seeks a new resurgence, as expressed on atptour.com.
“I already have the experience, game knowledge, and physical strength to push my limits. I believe that in the next three or four years, I will achieve significant results, overcome important obstacles in my sports career, and demonstrate that my best level is still ahead,” stated a man who seems to have already overcome the mental challenges he faced months ago when he felt disillusioned by the routine and demanding schedule.
– De Miñaur has few points to defend by the end of the season
He will seek a standout performance at the ATP 500 Washington 2025 to gain confidence for the upcoming events. He only defends 400 points throughout the North American hard court swing, potentially providing a good opportunity to return to the top 10. “I knew it was crucial for me to arrive in the best physical and mental shape possible for this final stretch of the season. I have few points to defend and I am very hopeful to gather victories and boost my ranking. I faced tough times at the beginning of the year, but now I feel good,” he explained.
“The loss against Djokovic was painful because I felt I should have pushed for a fifth set, but it enabled me to identify areas I need to work on. I hope that will help me take a step forward because those are the kinds of matches I need to start winning more often. I would say my goal from now until the end of the year is to win 20 more matches, something that would allow me to reach 50 victories in a season for the first time in my career. I see it as achievable,” concluded an ambitious Álex de Miñaur.
