Alex de Minaur is the leading Australian man in tennis in 2026. Born on February 17, 1999, in Sydney to a Uruguayan father and a Spanish mother, he moved to Spain at the age of five and spent much of his youth in Alicante, where he met Adolfo Gutiérrez, still his coach today. He speaks Spanish fluently and has always represented Australia. His speed and defense earned him the nickname “Demon”.
He won his first ATP titles in 2019 (Sydney, Atlanta, Zhuhai) and has since built one of the most consistent records on tour, with 11 titles, two Davis Cup finals with Australia (2022 and 2023) and quarter-finals at all four Grand Slams. The semi-final of a major is still missing: he has stopped in the last eight seven times, most recently against Carlos Alcaraz at the 2026 Australian Open.
2026 has been his best season in the rankings. He won Rotterdam in February at his third straight final there, beating Félix Auger-Aliassime.

In early October he reached the China Open final in Beijing but retired with an adductor injury against Novak Djokovic, trailing 7-6(3), 0-1. He still made the trip to the Shanghai Masters 2026, where a walkover and a win over Rei Sakamoto put him in the last 16 against Karen Khachanov. Every point counts: he is in contention for one of the eight places at the ATP Finals 2026 in Turin. Sources: ATP Tour, AP, AAP, Tennis Australia, Wikipedia.
