Australian tennis player Alex de Minaur is in great form and confident as he prepares to face Milos Raonic in the opening round of the tournament. Despite Raonic's past success, de Minaur believes he can defeat the Canadian and continue his strong performance in the Australian Open.
Milos Raonic (world No.319) It’s a good thing de Minaur is in the best form of his career so far, because Milos Raonic would be a mightily imposing opening round matchup if he wasn’t. De Minaur will still be very wary of the former world No.3, but the form he is in suggests he should be level-headed and consistent enough to defeat the big-serving Canadian, who has struggled with injury and meek form that have him far from his best that saw him reach a Wimbledon final and Australian Open semi.
It becomes a clearer run after that - or should in theory - with either an Aussie wildcard or Matteo Arnaldi in the second round before being projected to meet 18th seed Nicolas Jarry. Fifth seed Andrey Rublev is tough but not beyond de Minaur’s reach, but then Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic likely await. It’ll be hard, but de Minaur has proven himself up for the challenge this summer so far.: De Minaur is primed for a good run at his home slam and should have the second week in his sights.
