Good show on the Demon. I've always thought he had the most tidy game. Maybe now with more power and offense he can start beating the elite. He definitely has the mind. And he's fiery.
been a de minaur fan for a while and i think its well deserved his slow consistent progress and his never give up attitude make tennis a more enjoyable watch for me
Hey mate . . . . I am an Aussie and absolutely loved your video about our boy. Your research is extraordinary and I look forward to more of your exceptionally well articulated content - I just subscribed to your channel. Awesome presentation buddy . . . You absolutely rock! Many blessings and positive light from Newcastle in Australia. 🔮 🇦🇺 👌
I like to cogratulect you in your on your comments about my son. No one knows more about him than me. Alex is very close to reach his top..... I know his talent .....
Hands up everyone that was in the second category 2 🙋🏻♂ The difference in his game this year compared to previous yeas is obvious. You can see the more aggressive style of play.
I was lucky enough to see him beat Djokovic in Perth in December. He seemed to be on a completely different level than what I'd seen of him on TV. Playing positively, coming forward to receive at the baseline. It was easy to see he was on the rise
Not really a coincidence that both made the final in Canada which has had a weak field the last 4 years (see odd final matchups) and first hardcourt masters after a 5 month break. Definitely the one to do it at when Alcaraz skipped it this year and Djokovic hasn't bothered with it for many years (1 appearance in the last 8 years). Sinner going out early this year a big plus for Popyrin.
@@huzcerand yet Popyrin won against Shelton, Dimitrov, Hurkacz, Korda (who is in a great shape right now) and Rublev. I mean, you surely are right that canadian open has bizarre finals, but yet, this is not Popyrin's fault and he took down undeniably strong players, no top5 ok, but still
@@simonebattaglin7595 look he won so fair play to him. Take the opportunities in those places when the Top 3 aren't there or out. He has more actual weapons than De Minaur even if De Minaur is likely to be more consistent over a season.
there are MANY club players that can look to De Min for guidance on how to win points and "not have a big weapon"!! so what doesn't make him outstanding - his speed aside - he is a GREAT player to watch and Learn!!! Derinately one of my faves!!!
Totally agree with his consistent team, they make a huge difference! When he gets better and if he continues to improve like he has and continues to expand his game he will get to a top 10 again.
I´ve seen Alex de Miñaur (that's the way to spell his surname, he is Aussie but his father is from Uruguay and his mother is from Spain) since he was 11 or 12 years old. I used to play where he trains in Alicante, Spain and I know Adolfo, his coach. And you're right, because maybe six or seven years ago, he told me that Alex only needed to gain more body mass to be a top ten player.
I dunno where you get that his last name is spelt like that but I haven’t seen any articles with the last name spelt like that, of him or his Dad. I could be wrong tho
@@andrewwarnock9146 Probably 99% of those articles, news, etcetera are written in English, French or any other language but not in Spanish. So, for non Spanish spoken journalists it's easier to type "de Minaur". Just copy/paste Alex de Miñaur and you'll see.
I think its more to do with the guys who want to be No 1. They have to play so many tournaments to get enough ranking points. If the made the big 4 more points and the lesser tournaments alot less points they wouldnt have to play so much to keep their ranking.
Thanks Noah - very good coverage of Alex’s recent career. I like watching him darting about. So sad the way his injury occurred. Did you see the ATP Indian Wells video of the players “undercover”? Demon had a yellow vest and was playing parking lot attendant. Daniil worked as a cashier!
Absolutely. And Steve Smith, etc. Australia drills an ice cold competitive mindset into its elite athletes. Just take it one moment at a time, and make that moment the best it can be.
My first inkling of De Minaur’s upside came at the Queen’s Club tournament last year. I was really impressed with his transition game and net play; and how much they had improved. I also have noticed how he’s been using his speed to allow himself to be more offensive instead of just for retrieving; which he still does extremely well.
I always was in the second camp on De Minuar. Loved his speed and knew he could grow into a better player. I think he is a lot of fun to watch. A lot of that has to do with my style of play being similar. I tend to shock my opponents with my speed on the court if they don’t know me prior to playing. I hope he recovers fully and does well at the USO.
His best game , puts him firmly in the top ten in my opinion. Surprisingly, his skills and strengths are very similar to his coach / mentor LH . Good luck to him
Forehand and serve quality in the last year has a lot to do with change of strings! He stopped using a full poly string setup of Luxilon 4G rough and now uses natural gut on the main string which makes a huge difference!
It’s court speed, he doesn’t have killer weapons but get into a long rally with the demon and it will not end well. It’s like Iga Swiatek, she has far more powerful opponents but with her court speed she remains would number 1.
Except of course .... against someone like Sinner who is a baseline boss with much harder hitting accurate baseline shots with top movement and murders ADM every single time from there. Canada 2023, ADM had ONE winner from the baseline vs Sinner in 105 points in a match where the whole match was basically from the baseline and where ADM plays most of his tennis from. Hence 0-9.
I did a lot of research to try to find objective data on who the fastest players on court really are here's what i found....nothing 😂😂 For some reason that really cracked me up! 😅
@@emmanuelokosun7624 younger Nadal after all those. but he had more stamina so could do it further into a long match though but he wasn't as fast as Monfils imo. Hewitt same as De Minaur if I had to say.
great video! showed a different perspective the demon. could you do a deep dive on alexai popryn he seems like a rising star considering he just won Montreal and beat 5 top 20 players on the way and moved up 33 spots on the ranking.
The demon lacks the big shots so he needs to be very mentally engaged when he plays. He doesn't have any lee way which will make it tough to stay in the top 15
The UNITED Cup? That's not even a proper ATP event. Come on, even an absolute nobody like Nardi has beaten Djokovic this year in a masters. Djokovic only gets it up for slams now or like we saw in the Olympics Final where he pulled a masterclass just weeks after getting easily beat at Wimbledon being fully motivated on his No. 1 goal of the year (and a few weeks more giving better movement on his joint). We saw fully motivated Djokovic on his 2023 Australian Open revenge tour and he made ADM look like a schoolboy player in that "because I wanted to" match.
Man honestly I saw him against sinner last year in the Davis cup in tv and this year I saw in person his match against tsitsipas at the Italian Open, it felt like looking two different categories of players going against each other. I can’t understand how guys like fritz, tsitsipas, rune etc are behind him on the rankings.
@@Courtside_TennisI would say maybe it’s also the consistency that he brings in each tournament. That is the only way possibile he could got the number 6 in the world. But is incredible that for example if you compare to rune I would never take not even one aspect of his game , not even his speed and physicality but still de minaur is up on the rankings. Truly the creation of an environment based on work and improvement can make this incredible difference.
Also if you take tsitsipas , the record is 11-1 but de minaur was up in the rankings , please explain this to me cuz I don’t have an answer for it 😂😂. If you can watch the game they played in Rome this year and you will be even more confused.
I feel like DeMinaur will be like Pat Rafter, a late bloomer, and be in the top 5 later in his career. He'll win a couple of slams later in his career. But it's definitely been a problem of his, that he's lacked the power to beat the best.
Thanks for spotlighting on the Demon, giving him an objective treatment. He is one of the most under rated and under appreaciated players on tour (and I’m not just saying that because I happen to be an Aussie)! By the way, what is the piece of music playing in the background? I’m fascinated by it
Can you explain why De Minaur suffers so much Sinner? I’m pretty sure the on the head to head the Italian is actually unbeaten and he got some good wins always on finals: Next Gen 2019- Toronto 2023 - Davis Cup final (he lost the 2nd set 6-0…) - Rotterdam 2024
Because Sinner absolutely murders him from the baseline where De Minaur plays the majority of his tennis from. In Canada 2023 ADM had ONE baseline winner in 105 points vs Sinner in a match basically played from the baseline. Sinner is very consistent from the baseline, has good movement and hits much harder than ADM.
I said years ago that this kid would be a problem and was laughed at. Two words: work ethic. Demon is a monster when it comes to outworking MOST (not all) on the tour. Will he ever be at the absolute top of the sport? Probably not, unfortunately there’s just certain aspects of the modern game that the whims of genetics determine, you either have them or you don’t. But is he a problem now? Absolutely, even the top guys don’t have the luxury of assuming they can steamroll him, you know you’re in for a tough match when facing Alex across the net. As an Aussie fan I can only dream of what a player with Demon’s work habits and Krygios’s natural gifts would be capable of doing, hopefully the AIS have a youngster in the lab right now with both! It’s been a LONG time between drinks for us tennis heads down under 😂. Popyrin, it has to be said, is coming along nicely but the lad needs more confidence, especially after Shelton absolutely blew him away at the AO a couple of years back. Perhaps beating him, and getting a Master’s title under his belt in the same week will help give him more belief. Very interested to see how he goes at the US Open this year…
United Cup is up there with the Olympics Gold for Djokovic 😂 nobodies like Nardi have beaten Djokovic this year. He's not really motivated unless it's a slam or something else that he really wants like the Olympics.
He'll get even better...gets the most unluckiest injury on match point but he'll stay in the top 10 since Tsitsipas lost early in Montreal and Cincinnati and those behind Stefanos also lost
he injured it before match point he just made it worse on match point you could tell by the way he was moving that point and he said himself it was a few points before
Interesting re de Minaur height.. ....maybe just under 6ft but not by much. Certainly taller than Lleyton's 5'10". Personally I've always thought if Diego Schwartzman could make #8, then de Minaur certainly could too. A FAR BETTER player!! He made #6 👍😊👍
Djokovic is faster than Murray and was faster as well during the 2010s. I think just about everyone would agree with this opinion. If you include his sliding ability Djokovic was probably "faster" than Monfils as well as far as court coverage is concerned.
What really marks out Djokovic is how "centred" on the shot he still can be in the corners. That's why he's the most consistent on getting a good shot back from that part of the court.
Personally I find it very 'inconclusive' when people say height is not 'good enough'. This is not Boxing where arms 'reach' is going to make a difference. Isner is 2m , haven't won a single grand slam while Alcaraz at shorter than 6 ft won 4 already. What about Japanese Nishikori? Alex struggles with technique and being inconsistent. His games are erratic to say the least.
I love demon ❤️ next I think it’s fair to do musetti or Felix given there surprise seasons, also I would love to see some predictions on tornament likes the us open
This tennis video. He's not tall enough He's not tall enough He's not tall enough Alcaraz 👀 excat same height Wins slam Becomes world no1 Wins slam Wins another slam Regularly serves 130mph every match. Yeah okay.
The early 2000's was a poor transitional era where a player like Hewitt could win a slam with just speed. De Minaur will never win a slam unless he avoids Alcaraz and Sinner somehow in one slam - he's 0 for 9 against those two already.
As much as i disliked DeMinaur's snarky comments during the Novak controversy at the 2022 AO, i must admit I've been impressed with his improvements. Still a rat-faced puke that i always root against 🤷
Yeah, but you’re talking about arguably the weakest top 10 in tennis. I wouldn’t go as far as to call Zverev, Medvedev, Alcaraz, or Sinner “weak”. In fact, I would wager an in-form Alcaraz gives any of the big 3 a run for their money during their primes.
@@qinramthen you would lose a lot of money if it’s during their primes. He has a losing h2h against an old Djokovic, 2011-2016 Djokovic beats him 3 on any slam surface
@@Courtside_Tennis Because 5 of the top 10 players we have right now aren't there because they deserve it but simply because someone has to fill these ranks. Djokovic's easy slam titles over the past few years speak volumes. Defeating Ruud, Tsitsi or Kyrgios for a slam title is ridiculous.
@@elektrik_exekutioner6822Novak is better then Roger go and cry hahaha this Roger fans are so mad but what to say about his weak era whit Roddick and Hewitt and he still won only one clay masters and one french open cant even win Monte Carlo and Rome so please dont cry more saying weak era but Roger got bageld by Hurkacz at Wimbledon 🤣also were is Rogers golden slam ? Not even that he has so sad hahaha

Maybe not intended, but the "I'm not naming names..." At 11:57 Followed by who Alex beat was a nice touch. 👀 😅
Injury is a serious problem in tennis. The season is too long and its physically demanding.
Not for prime Nadal or Novak.

11:51 you are not going to name any names but you are talking about Nick and Bublik ;)
Even wikipedia editors thought he wouldn't do better than a "career high ranking of 7", meanwhile the automated stats box shows he reached 6.

Alex De Minaur is like a Lleyton Hewitt 2.0 If he continues to grind and improve he will go far.
Excellent video
That record of losses against Tsitsipas is crazy.
Has anyone noticed his racket has changed in the background?
Really great video, I'm surprised that demon improved his game so much
And dating Boulter gives you a really nice pump to improve 😅
Forehand and serve quality in the last year has a lot to do with change of strings! He stopped using a full poly string setup of Luxilon 4G rough and now uses natural gut on the main string which makes a huge difference!
now talking about Hurkacz..when is there going to be a video on him ?
Thanks, nice analysis!

In the Perth Sydney quarterfinals of 2024 Alex defeated Novak (admittedly who was not at his best).
The UNITED Cup? That's not even a proper ATP event. Come on, even an absolute nobody like Nardi has beaten Djokovic this year in a masters.

Bout time we got some respect put on the demonnnn
He has some incredible assets but
The lack of fire power decides wether he’s competitive enough against Sinner/Alcaraz or not

I think its 'thoughts' by adrian berenguer
Thank you. It Is indeed
I think the real question should be is How is De Minaur paying all those people: Coaches & stuff we all know its not easy pulling up such finances😅
Can you explain why De Minaur suffers so much Sinner? I’m pretty sure the on the head to head the Italian is actually unbeaten and he got some good wins always on finals: Next Gen 2019- Toronto 2023 - Davis Cup final (he lost the 2nd set 6-0…) - Rotterdam 2024

In Canada 2023 ADM had ONE baseline winner in 105 points vs Sinner in a match basically played from the baseline.

It’s been a LONG time between drinks for us tennis heads down under 😂. Popyrin, it has to be said, is coming along nicely but the lad needs more confidence, especially after Shelton absolutely blew him away at the AO a couple of years back. Perhaps beating him, and getting a Master’s title under his belt in the same week will help give him more belief. Very interested to see how he goes at the US Open this year…
‘The fastest legs in the locker room.’ Hehe.
Do one for tommy paul
Do lehechka next
Happy to have him back on tour following the long layoff. His win over Medvedev has huge. I’ll consider doing a deep dive on him. Preciate you.
He started doing Katie Boulter. That was the moment everything changed. For both of them
😂😂😂 actually they have both improved over the years during their relationship...Tsitsipas take notes 😂
Can he win a Grand Slam?
If he keeps improving. Right now he's always going to meet someone he can't get past.
Imagine thinking anyone can get to number 6 in the world at something by being "lucky".
"De Minaur also didn't quite have the wieght of shot needed to trouble the very elite"
*Shows a video of Dominic Thiem* 💀
When popyrin vid?
Soon. I’m already working on it!😅
Drop your follow up video about Djokovic’s fall off. Thanks
I watched that video lol. He didn’t say Djokovic fell off; it was an analysis of his Wimbledon final run and what went wrong more or less.
Really hope hip injury behind him , not a great injury to have ?

He made #6 👍😊👍
Hurcakz is a top 10 player everything is possible
He has arguably the best serve in the world though.
It's INSANE to me to call a 6 ft guy short!
Ikrrrr. It’s in comparison with his peers, not on a general note.😅
he's not 6ft tho. more like 5 '11 to + 1/2 like Alcaraz actually is.
Tennis is a tall man's game now. If you can dominate on your serve you're halfway to winning.
Djokovic is faster than Murray and was faster as well during the 2010s. I think just about everyone would agree with this opinion. If you include his sliding ability Djokovic was probably "faster" than Monfils as well as far as court coverage is concerned.
What really marks out Djokovic is how "centred" on the shot he still can be in the corners. That's why he's the most consistent on getting a good shot back from that part of the court.
I totally agree. I still don’t know how Djokovic manages to hit those shots from end-range.
He's a good player. Too small to beat the best players consistently.
Personally I find it very 'inconclusive' when people say height is not 'good enough'.
This is not Boxing where arms 'reach' is going to make a difference.
Isner is 2m , haven't won a single grand slam while Alcaraz at shorter than 6 ft won 4 already.
What about Japanese Nishikori?
Alex struggles with technique and being inconsistent.
His games are erratic to say the least.
I love demon ❤️ next I think it’s fair to do musetti or Felix given there surprise seasons, also I would love to see some predictions on tornament likes the us open
Alex is fast like a cheetah. But a tiger will still beat him in a long grandslam match.
This tennis video.
He's not tall enough

Alcaraz 👀 excat same height
Wins slam
Becomes world no1
Wins slam
Wins another slam
Regularly serves 130mph every match.
Yeah okay.
Alcaraz compensates for his height with the insane firing power. ADM doesn’t have that.
The early 2000's was a poor transitional era where a player like Hewitt could win a slam with just speed. De Minaur will never win a slam unless he avoids Alcaraz and Sinner somehow in one slam - he's 0 for 9 against those two already.
If Lleyton Hewitt can be #1, De Minaur can be too 10.
when bro said murry was 2nd fastest i knew this was bs. its nadal mate
@ thumbnail
His hair NEVER looked THAT good!
As much as i disliked DeMinaur's snarky comments during the Novak controversy at the 2022 AO, i must admit I've been impressed with his improvements.
Still a rat-faced puke that i always root against 🤷
Ahh he has beaten Novak!!! Plus he beat Nadal as well...twice now
In the United Cup, which Novak probably didn’t care about. 6:33.
Not out of the top ten mate.
I don't like him as a person. I dont watch him play. This won't change.
Hmmmm. Any particular reason why you don’t like him as a person?🤔
Pretty sad peak tbh. This weak era is so pathetic.
Hmmm. Why do you say so?
Yeah, but you’re talking about arguably the weakest top 10 in tennis. I wouldn’t go as far as to call Zverev, Medvedev, Alcaraz, or Sinner “weak”. In fact, I would wager an in-form Alcaraz gives any of the big 3 a run for their money during their primes.
@@qinramthen you would lose a lot of money if it’s during their primes. He has a losing h2h against an old Djokovic, 2011-2016 Djokovic beats him 3 on any slam surface
@@Courtside_Tennis Because 5 of the top 10 players we have right now aren't there because they deserve it but simply because someone has to fill these ranks. Djokovic's easy slam titles over the past few years speak volumes. Defeating Ruud, Tsitsi or Kyrgios for a slam title is ridiculous.
@@elektrik_exekutioner6822Novak is better then Roger go and cry hahaha this Roger fans are so mad but what to say about his weak era whit Roddick and Hewitt and he still won only one clay masters and one french open cant even win Monte Carlo and Rome so please dont cry more saying weak era but Roger got bageld by Hurkacz at Wimbledon 🤣also were is Rogers golden slam ? Not even that he has so sad hahaha
been a de minaur fan for a while and i think its well deserved his slow consistent progress and his never give up attitude make tennis a more enjoyable watch for me
