Alex de Minaur Tennis Equipment, Gear, and Accessories

Alex, nicknamed "Demon", grew up in Sydney but is a dual citizen in both Australia and Spain. His father, Anibal, is Uruguayan and his mother, Esther, is Spanish so he speaks English and Spanish fluently. He began playing tennis at age 4 after his mother signed him up for lessons at the Sydney Private Tennis Academy. He then moved to Alicante, Spain as a 5-year-old and split time growing up between Spain and Australia. He has been coached by Adolfo Gutierrez since he was nine years old living in Spain and is mentored by the legend Lleyton Hewitt. Although he made his debut on the pro tour in 2015, it didn't take him long to move up the rankings and have a breakout year in 2018 where he eventually won the ATP Newcomer of the Year Award. In 2019 he continued his success by capturing 3 ATP Singles titles, including the year-end ATP Next-Gen Finals trophy. His favorite surface is grass and his favorite shot is his backhand. He enjoys playing golf and says he would be a golfer if he wasn't a professional tennis player.
