His mother, Esther, is a Spaniard, and Alex de Minaur’s father, Anibal, is from Uruguay.
When Esther started working as a waiter at the Italian restaurant his father owned on George Street in Sydney, they got to know one another.
Dominic, Daniel, Natalie, Cristina, and Sara are De Minaur’s sisters, and he also has two brothers.
Who is Alex de Minaur’s father Anibal?
Even when they were having financial troubles, his parents were there for him every single day to encourage and support him.
In 2011, his family ran into financial difficulties. It was so bad that they were unable to cover even Alex’s travel expenses, endangering his blossoming tennis career.
Fortunately, De Minaur’s veteran coach Adolfo Gutierrez came to the team’s aid. He wouldn’t take any money from the parents of Alex in exchange for his training.
At a time when Alex could have had to give up tennis if training became too expensive, this preserved his career.
