Alex de Minaur Press Conference | Australian Open 2025 Quarterfinal

[@FedericoFraccaroli]

Lots of sinner fans expressing our admiration for Alex. We really like him a lot. Sinner victory is less enjoyable when his opponent is such a great guy.

[@mcmb19]

exact. I'm italian and a Sinner fan but believe me, there are few players that I don't like at all to be defeated. The first one is Alex, the most gentle, correct, nice and transparent player

Totally agree with you. 👍Alex is a great guy and a nice player, victories against him are much less satisfying than usual. But this is the harsh law of tennis, it is a sport that does not give discounts to anyone, not even friends.

Infatti. Sinner mi piace per la sua umiltà e Alex De Minaur è molto simile a Sinner bravissimi ragazzi prima di essere due campioni bravo Alex 👏

I respect his ability to acknowledge that Sinner was just on another level, some guys might make excuses and such but he kept it real, Sinner is a monster and like he said in conditions like tonight It's nearly impossible to penetrate him consistently, having to battle not only his heavy spinny balls but also trying to attack through his very flexible Djokovic like defence that leaves some big shots coming back with interest, it takes a goliath effort to defeat him which is why for the last 36 matches only a peak Alcaraz performance has been able to do it.

Dear Alex, although I am a Sinnner’s supporter I sincerely confess that you are the kind of player and man that I admire and respect for your genuine bravery and behaviour on the court it doesn’t matter what and when. I am a former (old) National tennis player and could easily be your father, thus I would have wished you to be my son. I am conveying to you my encouragement to make you feel proud of yourself and to continue to seek for the peak of you. The tennis world needs players like you!

[@cuspide1234]

Respect from Italy.A great player and a great man. Best of luck for the season

[@KellieGeorge-j5j]

My nine year old loves tennis (to watch). He watched all your games in the Open and really thought in his innocent mind that you could win this. In the third set I heard him sniffling and went out - he'd been silently crying and worried that you would lose. I had to hug him and he cried like that for the rest of the set. When you finally lost, he cried so hard - so so hard! We become numb to loss because we need to learn to lose graciously, but let me tell you, my son cried his eyes out and so you can know that somewhere in the world, there was someone releasing all your disappointment. I had to take him for a walk in the night time to and let him know that you'd be alright, and then find this to show him that you're alright. It's important not to become too enmeshed with sport, it's your life and your loss, but he really felt it for you. You're an inspiration and a likeable guy to so many young kids. Thank you. Blessings to you and your mum - and best of luck.

[@giuseppemodanese3036]

Great Alex De Minaur! I am Italian and I think you are a source of pride for Australia. Your behavior on and off the court is an inspiration for future generations of tennis players. You should be rewarded for this and not just for your tennis skills. Congratulations!

Sinner fan here, and my commiserations for a great player like Alex. Especially in the first 2 sets he tried everything giving his best, which would have worked fine with 99% of the top50 players. Not against Jannik, unfortunately for him. He needs to hope he doesn't end up with Jannik in the draws of the next Majors. Alex should be proud of himself for what he has achieved so far and what he can achieve in the future.

DeMinaur doesn’t have any weapons that can hurt someone like Sinner. Being speedy around the court isn’t going to be enough when the ball is almost guaranteed to come back with extra pace.

[@imalwaysright]

I like how he owned it and explained the difficulty in facing Jannik. I felt for him. He’s mismatched to Jannik. He’s had a great AO and 12 months. 4 back-to+back QF Grand Slam appearances.

[@MisterKilogram]

Alex reminds me of David Ferrer. He was a great competitor. Unfortunately, Ferrer didn't have the weaponry that could hurt the Big Four and Stan The Man. These players had strong serves and a groundstroke, whether backhand or forehand, that consistently damaged opponents.

[@jasko2356]

Simplicity is the highest point of every art in this world. Sinner made it there. Simple, fast, efficient, short. Amayzeeng!!! I am Novak fan. Novak has another dimension in his game and his chance to beat Janik is in his strategic way to think, work and act. But this way to play....... I have never seen anyone to play like this. Nadal called Novak machin, in one of their periods. This is machin too. This is unik. Alcaraz is so behind him, just now.

Australian media should go hard on 'another' tennis player that talks too much and achieves too little. De minaur might not be an extraordinary talent, but he is a top 10 player, very consistent and gives Australia a good image of their country on the international field. And he can get better, because he's young and he is a serious hard worker.

Anyone criticising his performance simply does not understand tennis. Sinner is an impossible match up for Alex and the way he played, there was nothing Alex could do. Honestly I'm not sure Novak or Carlos could've taken a set off Sinner playing like that

[@MrAlfafil]

What a great guy Alex is, honest and eloquent.

[@KhunDet]

To be honest, Alex doesn’t play bad at all today. He play way better than the match with Cerundolo. However, Jannik level is too high today. Give Alex lot of pressure and he make an error try to hit a difficult shot. I was there today, Jannik even move to the spot before Alex hit the ball, seem like he know straight away where Alex will hit the ball too, too good to be real.

[@linzhao2235]

@KhunDet Yeah unfortunately the reality is when you play a player like that and you are expected to lose badly after giving your best there's not a damn thing you can do about it. Sinner would've won even if he dropped his level today by like 30%. QF result is still a very good run for Alex! I'm sure Katie is smiling from behind.

I sympathise with de Minaur, but he shouldn't be too hard on himself. In a tournament where you're seeded 6, then getting to the quarter-finals is where you're expected to get to. If you get any further then that would be a huge bonus. The fact that he was drawn against Sinner (1st seed) in this round obviously strongly reduced his chances of continuing. Like de Minaur said, he can get better against Sinner, he just needs to find his weakness (if he has one!)
