Undoubtedly, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz have been the undisputed protagonists of an unforgettable season on the men's circuit. The debate about which other player can challenge the top duo has not been settled this year, although many names stand out for 2026.
Among them is Alex De Miñaur. The Australian tennis player, ranked 7th in the world and a semifinalist at the ATP Finals, has shown in recent months that he is capable of making that big leap and trying to compete with anyone on the court. This is at least his goal for the coming weeks.
"One of Jannik's greatest virtues is his level, which never fluctuates from day to day. It's one of the most impressive things, both in tennis and mentally. He's been through a lot this year, and it hasn’t affected him mentally. At Roland Garros, he was two sets to one up, had match points, and lost. It was an incredible match, and then he managed to repeat it at Wimbledon," recalled Alex De Miñaur about some of the key moments for the Italian player in 2025, as reported by Tennis365.

"It's incredible to be able to bounce back from such a disappointment and play as he did to win Wimbledon. It's almost as if the tough moments didn't affect him. They bounce off him, stay outside the following week, and that's admirable. You have to play very good tennis from the first point to the last, that's my goal. They are at the top of our game, have dominated the last two years, and the goal is to keep improving and make their lives difficult."

"It's not easy, but in the end, we don't want there to always be two players winning all the big tournaments. As competitors, we don't like to lose and we have to strive to compete with them at our best," said Alex, who has taken great strides in his career this year and aims to continue improving for the next season.
