An indefatigable fighter, a man who honors tennis with his constant progress. This is how Álex de Miñaur, the brand new quarterfinalist of the ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai 2025 after defeating Borges, can be defined. During the press conference, he talked about the keys to his improvement and explained what his major short-term goals are.

He is always there, ready to give his all on the court, to stand up after every setback, and to advance inexorably in his progress as a tennis player. Álex de Miñaur is a perfect example for any young person aspiring to pursue tennis. Perhaps he doesn't possess the technical resources of many others, but he knows how to perfectly exploit his strengths and works tirelessly to become better each day, even if it means stepping out of his comfort zone. He looks optimistically at what the ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai 2025 might bring, already being in the quarterfinals.

"I need to continue improving my tennis if I want to achieve something truly significant here. Even though the dominating players of the season are not present, I know I will face tough matches. The best news for me is that I feel physically and mentally fresh, which is crucial in a tournament like this, where the conditions are so tough. I have to approach each match without thinking about anything else," admits De Miñaur, who is involved in the fight for the ATP Finals.

- De Miñaur knows he has a great opportunity in Shanghai to win his first Masters 1000 title

The Australian is aware that he has a good chance of finishing the year among the top eight in the world and does not want to put too much pressure on himself regarding this matter. "My only stance on this topic is that it depends on me. I know that if I manage to win enough matches from here until the end of the season, it would be normal to qualify, so I don't focus on what others are doing. I need to play freely, be brave, and not just limit myself to hitting balls, because that's not how you win a big tournament," he stated.

"The improvement I've had in my serve is key for my tennis to evolve in recent weeks. I made a small technical adjustment and I'm able to hit a high percentage of first serves and maintain a good rhythm. What I am most proud of is my consistency, as shown by the fact that I've already notched up 50 victories, but I aspire to much more than what I have achieved," pointed out Álex de Miñaur who is looking optimistically at his journey in this ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai 2025.
