Alex de Minaur on the drive to compete, hitting rock bottom, and his classic car obsession

Tennis star Alex de Minaur will lead the homegrown charge in the Australian Open, which begins on Sunday, off the back of a tough 2025. De Minaur spoke to Konrad Marshall for this episode late last year, during a rare and all-too-brief break between seasons. It was an opportunity to ask the tennis champion at length about everything from his lowest point, which he himself calls his rock bottom, along with how he plans to take his game to the next level, before, finally, why playing in front of a home crowd at Melbourne Park is the greatest gift.
