Australian Open 2025: De Minaur focuses on ‘tunnel vision’ amid high hopes for home glory

The Hindu  

Alex de Minaur has generated much excitement among Australian fans after winning two titles, qualifying for the ATP Finals and breaking into the top 10 last year but he is determined to ignore the hype as he heads into his home Grand Slam. Australia’s number one, dubbed the ‘Demon’, defended his ATP 500 crown at the Mexico Open in Acapulco and won the Libema Open last year, before a cartilage tear in his hip forced him to pull out of a Wimbledon quarter-final and miss the Paris Olympics. “We’ve got tunnel vision going into these types of tournaments, Slams.” De Minaur may have a fight on his hands in the first round when he faces Botic van de Zandschulp, who stunned Carlos Alcaraz at the U.S. Open. Asked if he could end a 49-year wait for the first Australian men’s singles champion at Melbourne Park since Mark Edmondson in 1976, De Minaur said: “I’m playing with a lot more confidence.
