2024 was a great season. Alex de Minor. He made his top-10 debut in January and has won two titles, amassing a 36-12 record so far. Despite being forced out of Wimbledon with a devastating hip injury before his quarter-final against Novak Djokovic, the 25-year-old still finished at the Championships with a career-high ranking.
De Minaur has risen three places to world number six. The man they call the Demon is one of 10 Australians in this week’s top 100.
The more numbers, the stronger!!! 🇦🇺❤️ https://t.co/CSEEJtsBdS
