Novak Djokovic destroys Alex de Minaur on Rod Laver to secure Quarter-Final spot at Australian Open
ATP
Many expected de Minaur to make this an interesting one considering everything that is happening to Djokovic but it was anything but that as the Serbian cruised 6-2 6-1 6-1.
Alex de Minaur produced a shocking effort to stun his native fans hoping for a show in the Rod Laver Arena losing to Djokovic rather quickly. The victory was never in doubt for the Serbian as he destroyed his opponent from the start. The longer the match went on the more apparent it became that de Minaur was no match for the Serbian.
An abundance of unforced errros, a lot of doubt, and not being sure what to do. Everything combined for de MInaur as Djokovic slowly but surely took apart his game. It was the best Djokovic played since the start of the Australian Open and that's a bad sign for all of his competitors. Djokovic had 26 winners compared to de Minaur's 9. The Australian also had 28 unforced errors and that was the match.
He simply could not stay calm against Djokovic.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
