Sydney, New South Wales (UNA) : Alex de Minaur has spoken about making significant changes to his preparation as he looks to compete more effectively against the current leaders of men’s tennis. The Australian, who has steadily climbed the rankings in recent seasons, believes adapting his training is essential to closing the gap with Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. De Minaur acknowledged that while his speed and consistency remain strengths, modern tennis increasingly demands greater physical power and tactical variety. During the off-season, he has focused on improving strength, endurance, and shot selection to better handle the aggressive style of top-ranked opponents. The revised approach includes adjustments to fitness routines and match strategies, with an emphasis on taking initiative during key moments rather than relying solely on defensive play. De Minaur said recent close contests against higher-ranked players have highlighted areas where marginal gains could make a decisive difference. As the new season approaches, the Australian is aiming to translate his off-court work into more consistent results on tour. Upcoming tournaments will provide early indicators of how effectively the changes have strengthened his overall game. Tennis observers note that sustained improvement at the elite level often depends on continuous adaptation, and De Minaur’s willingness to refine his preparation reflects the competitive demands of the current era.
