He won the 2021 Eastbourne International and the 2024 Rosmalen Grass Court Championships. Since that win, he hasn’t yet lifted a title. He has reached the final of the Rotterdam Open this year but couldn’t beat Carlos Alcaraz. At Wimbledon, the Aussie has never moved beyond the quarterfinals, reaching the stage last year. But he withdrew from the match because of injury issues. De Minaur has reached the last eight of every Grand Slam event but has not yet progressed to the semifinal. It’s not exciting to play against Alex De Minaur on grass, that’s for sure because he is very fast and a very complete player. He has gained speed with his serve. He hits his shots very well. I expect a tough, very tough challenge. I’m looking forward to it. I think it will be a great test to see where my game stands against a top player like Alex. Novak Djokovic said at the press conference Djokovic has met the 26-year-old three times, winning two of those matches. Before scheduling the match against the former World No.1, the 11th seed went past August Holmgren in straight sets. Djokovic last lifted a Big Title at the 2024 Paris Olympics by beating Alcaraz. At Wimbledon, he is also chasing his second title of the season, following the Geneva Open.
