Australian ace Alex de Minaur has been cruelly mocked on social media for crimes against fashion. As the eight big stars of tennis gathered for the ‘blue carpet’ launch of the ATP Finals, fans were quick to whip up a frenzy over the players’ unusual — or rather, nerdy — outfits for the event. Double-breasted suit coats were the order of the day ... slightly oversized, and, umm, seemingly un-ironed. And fans, naturally, couldn’t let it go.
De Minaur, the first Australian to compete in the men’s tour’s end-of-season championship for two decades, has never beaten the world No.1 in seven attempts. When he lines up in Sunday night’s match at the Inalpi Arena, he will be given little hope of ending the wretched five-year sequence. In Thursday’s draw, ‘Demon’ has been placed alongside Sinner, as well as former Finals champion Daniil Medvedev and American Taylor Fritz in the ‘Ilie Nastase Group’, named after the first ATP world No.1.
