Alex de Minaur issued a brutal putdown to a Novak Djokovic superfan on social media following his one-sided loss to Jannik Sinner in the quarter-finals of the Australian Open.
Alex de Minaur has confirmed that he does not have the necessary weapons to put Jannik Sinner in trouble. The Australian ace has always been defeated by the Italian on the professional tour and the quarterfinal of the 2025 Australian Open was no exception.
Alex de Minaur is through to the quarterfinals of the Australian Open for the first time, defeating American giant-killer Alex Michelsen.
Sinner toppled de Minaur 6-3, 6-2, 6-1 in an hour and 48 minutes at Rod Laver Arena, shuttering the dreams of the home nation. De Minaur will have to find improvements to become a Major contender, having lost all five Australian Open matches versus the top-10 rivals!
Pavvy G, a massive Novak Djokovic fan with a strong negative stance against Sinner, accused de Minaur of lacking belief against the two-time Grand Slam champion. Alex De Minaur has zero self ...
Novak Djokovic's prediction that Alex de Minaur was primed for "great things" at the Australian Open has been vindicated after the local hope came through a tense third round clash on Saturday. De Minaur's hopes of going on a deep run at Melbourne Park are still alive after the 25-year-old came from behind to defeat Argentina's World No.
The 24-time slam champion, who is trying to win a record-extending 11th title at Melbourne Park, played less tennis than many of his rivals did in 2024 while failing to win a slam. Instead they were split between Jannik Sinner (Australian, US) and Carlos Alcaraz (French, Wimbledon).
One envisages that when his head hit the pillow on Wednesday, he might instead have been reliving a tennis version of a Nightmare on Elm Street, with Jannik Sinner taking the role of Freddy Krueger. He knifed and diced “Demon” in a ruthless manner on Rod Laver Arena.
More remarkably: Djokovic has now advanced to his fiftieth major semifinal, after beating Alcaraz in a grueling four-set match that went to about 1:00 am local time in Melbourne. That number sets yet another Djokovic record in men’s tennis, further cementing the athlete’s legendary status.
Earlier in the day, Iga Swiatek cruised past Emma Navarro 6-1, 6-2 in their Women’s Singles quarter-final while Madison Keys secured a surprising 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 victory over Elina Svitolina to set up a meeting with Swiatek tomorrow.
Jannik Sinner destroyed the Demon to ensure Australia’s wait for a male winner in their own Grand Slam will hit 50 years of hurt. World No.212 Mark Edmonson, who worked as a window cleaner, was the last Aussie male champion way back in 1976.
