Alex de Minaur
Alex de Minaur, over recent years, has started to establish himself as one of the game's up and coming talents. The 19 year old Australian, like his counterparts, had massive success at junior level, winning the Australian Open boys' doubles title in 2016. He also reached the final of boys' singles final at the All England Club, where he lost to Shapovalov.
The Australian currently works alongside Lleyton Hewitt and it is clear to see where Lleyton has influenced the 19-year-old's game. De Minaur's gritty baseline style of play contrasts massively with the all-court style adopted by Tsitsipas and Shapovalov. The Aussie's style very much embodies the modern baseline game used by the vast majority of players on the ATP and WTA tour.
Alex's best result at a major came at this year's Wimbledon, where he reached the third round, after defeating French Open semi-finalist Marco Cecchinato and France's Pierre Hugues-Herbert. Although he lost Rafael Nadal in straight sets and looked slightly overawed by the occasion, he put in an admirable effort and pushed Nadal to the best of his ability.
Alex de Minaur in many ways mirrors his coach Lleyton Hewitt. He may lack the firepower and the flair of his counterparts but has the heart of a warrior and a steely determination to win.
