Álex de Miñaur is facing a very special title defense at the ATP 500 Washington 2026. The Australian, the current champion of the tournament, has just married Katie Boulter and, after a very brief honeymoon, has had to quickly switch gears. This Tuesday, he will debut against Stefanos Tsitsipas, in a match scheduled for Tuesday night to Wednesday in Spain.

"It was an incredible time. It was everything we could have imagined," he said about his wedding. "It was like our own movie. We were able to celebrate with family and friends and enjoy a short two-day honeymoon. Then, we flew to Washington to get back in shape and be tennis players again."

De Miñaur warns of extreme conditions

The Australian knows perfectly well what awaits him in Washington. "This is one of the few weeks of the year where the heat and humidity conditions are so harsh that I sweat like crazy through my shoes and need several pairs of sneakers per match. Last year, I even used five pairs in a single match. You have to try to adapt, and I will be ready."

The demand will be maximum from the start. De Miñaur begins the defense of the crown against Tsitsipas, who arrives strengthened by his recent title in Gstaad, setting up one of the most attractive matchups of the first round.

"As the season goes, we go back to work, right? We're back to being tennis players," De Miñaur explained. "I don't think much has changed for me being married. I think everything remains the same. I am definitely very excited to start." From a whirlwind wedding and honeymoon to defending the title under the stifling Washington climate. De Miñaur returns to the circuit reality in style.
