Summary
- Lleyton Hewitt is now part of Alex de Minaur's coaching team.
- De Minaur is currently ranked World No. 9 and vying for ATP Finals.
- De Minaur married Katie Boulter shortly after Wimbledon in 2026.
Alex de Minaur is enhancing his coaching staff with Australian tennis legend Lleyton Hewitt. Hewitt was observed supporting de Minaur during his China Open semifinal victory against Hubert Hurkacz and is continuing his assistance for the final match against Novak Djokovic. This collaboration comes as de Minaur, currently ranked World No. 9, is in contention for a spot in the ATP Finals, especially with Jannik Sinner's withdrawal.
Hewitt, a Hall of Famer with 30 career titles, including two Grand Slams and two ATP Finals victories, may provide de Minaur the crucial edge needed for an end-of-year performance run. De Minaur's impressive speed and defensive skills already make him a significant threat on the ATP Tour, boasting 11 career titles.
In 2026, de Minaur has also celebrated personal milestones, marrying his longtime girlfriend Katie Boulter shortly after Wimbledon. Despite these successes, he remains candid about the challenges within his game, a trait that has endeared him to fans.
