A well-deserved prize for effort, perseverance, impeccable work ethic, and, of course, talent. Álex de Miñaur is not usually associated with this last concept, being unfairly treated and having his tennis trivialized by a large number of fans unable to appreciate the Australian as he deserves. Adding his eleventh title, after winning the ATP 500 Rotterdam 2026, deserves praise.

There is nothing to reproach in someone who gives their all on the court, who strives to be better every day, and, moreover, succeeds. Álex de Miñaur has managed to step out of his comfort zone to explore his own limits, breaking glass ceilings in his career that seemed impregnable and becoming a solid member of the top 10. He has already won titles in six seasons, and his words after being crowned champion at the ATP 500 Rotterdam 2026 highlight his voracious ambition and tenacity beyond comprehension for many human beings in any aspect of life.

The Australian constantly collides with the harsh and overwhelming reality; everything he has done to evolve and the impressive player he has become is not enough to defeat the best in the major tournaments. Far from resigning himself and seeking a certain comfort in daily life, De Miñaur wants more. "Throughout my career, I have preferred that my actions speak for me, but I will not deny that my dream is to win a Grand Slam and I will do everything possible to achieve it," he commented.

De Miñaur adds 11 titles after winning in Rotterdam and will aim to add some Masters 1000 and/or Grand Slam to his record

"The defeat I suffered with Carlos in Australia was tough, but I have recovered quickly, and the year is long. There are three Grand Slam tournaments and nine Masters 1000 events remaining, so I intend to step up and win a title in one of those events," said Álex, aware that his improvements, especially with the serve, can continue to enhance his tennis skills, something essential for a naturally dissatisfied player like himself.

Currently ranked sixth on the tour, his best career rank, Álex De Miñaur fully understands the demands of aiming for the top. "For me, it is crucial to see that my serve is effective. Getting more free points increases my chances of winning an important tournament. I need to keep increasing my first serve percentage; I believe that has been a significant limiting factor in my matches against the best," stated the Australian, who dreams of taking one more step and winning a Masters 1000, having already been a finalist in one, such as the Canada 2023 event. It remains to be seen if he has a chance to redeem himself this season.
