Wimbledon Briefing - Australian and New Zealand Results: Alex de Minaur anchors Aussie hopes after latest win
ATP
Alex de Minaur is fronting the Aussie charge on Day Four of Wimbledon as he is the first through of the four in action on Thursday at SW19.
De Minaur opened No.2 court against Frenchman Arthur Cazaux. He lost the opening set by managed to recover in order to see off the qualifier.
The 11th seed went down 6-4 in the opening set but recovered enough to seal the next three with the final foray in particular being superb. De Minaur won the final set 6-0.
This after he sealed the previous two 6-2, 6-4. He has a good draw too in the next games. He will face either August Holmgren or Tomas Machac, the 21st seed who is a danger but tends to go off the boil at some point.
He will then likely face nemesis Novak Djokovic who he has barely mustered a win over in the past. He is currently facing Dan Evans and will take on his compatriot Miomir Kecmanovic in the fourth round if he wins.
Kecmanovic already sealed his spot seeing off Jesper de Jong in four coming back from a 6-1 set loss to win the next two 6-3, 6-2, 6-4.

It can be said that in reality Daria Kasatkina harbours the best chance of the remaining Aussies to win through. She faces Irina-Camelia Begu.
While the other two are Rinky Hijikata and Aleksandar Vukic. The former faces Ben Shelton. While Jannik Sinner headlines against Vukic on Centre Court.
Jordan Thompson anchored hopes yesterday and it could be mainly De Minaur remaining after today.

- 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.

- 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
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
