Alex De Minaur gave hug update on injury and presence at US Open

Alex De Minaur should recover from his injury in time to participate in the highly anticipated US Open. The Australian, after a very positive start to the season, with victories over Novak Djokovic, Casper Ruud and Stefanos Tsitsipas and with the titles won in Acapulco and ‘s-Hertogenbosch, had to deal with a hip problem that affected his performances at Wimbledon and forced him to give up the Olympics, the National Bank Open in Toronto and the Cincinnati Open.

De Minaur published a photo in which he is portrayed smiling on a bench, probably after a training session, accompanying it with words that reassured his fans.

“A little update. I’ve been working hard to recover from my injury. It’s been really hard to miss tournaments and I’m excited to say that I’ll be playing the US Open. Thank you to everyone for the support, it’s definitely helped me get through this difficult time. There’s always a light at the end of the tunnel,” he said.

The Australian will arrive at the New York Major without having played any matches on his return to hard courts, just like Novak Djokovic. His last appearance was in the first round of the Olympics, in doubles with Popyrin, while his last match played in singles was the Wimbledon round of 16 won against Arthur Fils, before retiring without even taking the court in the quarterfinals against Djokovic.

In the last edition of the US Open, De Minaur made it to the round of 16, when he surrendered to Daniil Medvedev in three sets. There are therefore some unknowns about the physical condition of the Australian number one, who however has shown that he is confident and wants to return soon to show off his best tennis.
