Alex de Miñaur experienced one of the toughest moments of his career yesterday. The Australian tennis player lost decisively in the Wimbledon 2026 round of 16 against Flavio Cobolli and appeared devastated during the post-match press conference as he realized he isn't progressing in his career. Mark Petchey, former coach of Andy Murray, has commented on this and advised him to change his lifelong coach.

De Miñaur has been training with Adolfo Gutiérrez since he was 9 years old and made it clear after his defeat that he had no immediate plans to make changes. Nevertheless, according to Petchey on 'Stan Sport', it would be the most logical option. "Somehow, he needs to find a way to change something, to try to recapture the magic, to reignite the enthusiasm for this sport. Maybe it's time to renew things around him; he just needs a slightly different voice. He simply needs someone with a bit more passion, with a slightly different vibe," he stated.

Petchey provides De Miñaur with the key to winning a Grand Slam

Petchey believes that if De Miñaur wants to advance in his career and start competing for major titles, he needs someone with more fire in his corner to push him up a notch or two in his game. "It's a very intense situation because Alex wants to win a Grand Slam, but perhaps it would have been easier for him if he had someone to interact with, someone who would get up from their seat, fist pump for real, an energizer. That might be what can pull him out of the slump in some of those moments," he concluded.

Currently, the Australian tennis player prefers to remain loyal to Gutiérrez, who has guided him to stardom and to winning 11 ATP titles, but we will have to see how his season and career progress. De Miñaur's season has been challenging, below expectations despite maintaining a high ranking position, so in the future, it cannot be ruled out that he will make the requested change by Petchey.
