Australian tennis great Lleyton Hewitt believes Alex de Minaur has the game to break into the world's top 10 and can make a deep run in January's Australian Open.
Alex de Minaur has the game to break into the world's top 10 and have a serious crack at ending the host nation's Australian Open men's title drought, according to Lleyton Hewitt.Ash Barty broke a 44-year drought when she claimed the women's crown in 2022, but no Australian man has won a home major since Mark Edmondson in 1976.
To end the Open drought, de Minaur would have to put a stop to 10-time champion Novak Djokovic's dominance. "If he can get through and not cause too much damage to his body physically then I think he can push deep." The 24-year-old is now within sight of becoming the first Australian since Hewitt to crack the world's top 10.
