Biography

Denied an opportunity to compete at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics after contracting COVID-19, Alex de Minaur is all set to make his Summer Games debut at Paris 2024.

As Australia’s premier men’s singles player of the current generation, de Minaur, who boasts a career-high ranking of No. 7, will also be carrying his country’s medal hopes in tennis from Paris 2024.

Alex de Minaur was born in Sydney, Australia, on February 17, 1999. However, he has Spanish citizenship as well and lived most of his life in Alicante, Spain. His father, Anibal, is Uruguayan and his mother, Esther, hails from France.

His love for tennis began at the age of three after being introduced to the sport in the suburbs of Sydney. From serving over the baseline before turning five to nearly beating his coach Terry Dock in a three-set match at the age of 10, de Minaur’s talent left everyone spellbound.

The young prodigy was trained by Adolfo Gutierrez when he moved to Alicante. He was ranked world No. 2 in the junior circuit in the years to come and also won the Australian Open boys’ doubles title alongside Blake Elis.
