Álex de Miñaur appeared before the media at Roland Garros 2026 and admitted to having gone through tough times in recent weeks, which explains his erratic performance during the clay court tour. However, he also stated that his time in Hamburg has restored his confidence and joy for playing.
"The last month was very tough, I won't hide it. I think anyone could tell by watching my games that something wasn't right. Normally, I'm someone who handles my emotions quite well on the court, but during these weeks, it was obvious something was off. My mentality was simply to keep my head down, keep working, and trust that I would eventually come out of that slump. And eventually, something clicked in my head again. I don't think I forgot how to play tennis for a month. I just felt like something had mentally switched off, and luckily, I managed to rediscover it again."
