Growing consistently supported by impeccable attitude and commendable work ethics. That's what characterizes an Álex de Miñaur who walks the circuit with the pride of leaving his soul in every encounter and knowing that effort pays off. He will seek a great performance in the ATP Rotterdam 2025, a tournament in which he defends the finalist position reached last year.
Reaching the elite is not simple, but even more complex is to stay there and work every day to push the limits. Álex de Miñaur is a natural born fighter who has exceeded both his own and others' expectations throughout his career and who does not want to stop now as he debuts his top-10 status. As the third seed in the ATP 500 Rotterdam 2025, the Australian shares powerful insights in the pre-tournament press conference.
- Assessment of his progression in recent times
"I feel that I have taken many steps in the right direction during this past year. I am a better tennis player and I do not take lightly the great success of having shown the necessary consistency to reach the quarterfinals in all four Grand Slams. It is a magnificent foundation on which to keep building. My main goal this season is to avoid injuries and keep progressing. I don't think I have reached my limit yet; I want more and eagerly await what 2025 may bring," stated the Australian.
- Mental pressure of his new top-10 role
"There is a big difference between being ranked 11th or 12th in the world and already being among the top 10. Media attention is higher and expectations are raised. Also, starting the year in Australia makes me feel that more intensely. The privilege of playing in front of your home crowd at the Rod Laver carries responsibility and pressure because people expect you to win," comments a man who has just played Davis Cup, once again showing his commitment to Australia.
- Importance of his environment and, especially, his partner, Katie Boulter
"It helps a lot to share competition weeks with Katie; it makes the time away from home more bearable. Tennis players spend too many weeks a year away from home and separated from family, so it is important to maintain routines of going out to dinner, exploring the cities you're in, and leading as normal a life as possible. The tennis aspect will always be demanding and stressful, so for me, it is essential to do interesting and entertaining things off the court," explained Álex de Miñaur who aims to display his best tennis in the ATP 500 Rotterdam 2025.
