Alex De Minaur reacts to criticism after defeat against Jannik Sinner
An intense day at the 2025 Australian Open ends with a strong reaction from Alex De Minaur. After the defeat against Jannik Sinner in the quarter-finals, the Australian was subjected to criticism on social media, in particular from the profile @pavyg. This user, known for his strong support for Novak Djokovic, repeatedly attacked Sinner for the alleged doping case and called for the disqualification of the world number 1.
Today, after Sinner’s clear victory, the post that most struck De Minaur reads: “Alex De Minaur doesn’t seem to believe in the slightest that he can compete with Sinner, let alone defeat him. His performance was disappointing.” Another message congratulates Sinner on his victory and highlights the total control he had during the match, highlighting De Minaur’s disappointment with his performance: blocked in front of the crowd and completely outmatched.
Among the various responses, the unexpected one from De Minaur stands out, clearly tired of the criticism coming from the “sofa champion”. “Hey man, it’s a shame you never had enough talent to challenge Jannik. I’m sure you would have done better and know exactly how to beat him. All the best!!!,” the Australian replied.
