Australia’s hope in the singles event at Wimbledon, Alex De Minaur, will be going all out to try end the nation's wait for a men’s title at SW19 at this year’s grand slam.
It was back in 2002 the last time an Aussie man was triumphant at the All-England Club, with Lleyton Hewitt defeating Argentina’s David Nalbandian 6-1 6-3 6-2.
While Ashleigh Barty has brought the title home in the ladies’ game in 2021, it’s now 23 years since an Australian man claimed one of the most prestigious titles in tennis.
De Minaur is regarded as an outsider for the title at Wimbledon this year but the Sydney star will be hoping he can cause a major upset at SW19 in the coming weeks.

Speed the key for De Minaur
One of the fastest-moving players on the ATP circuit, De Minaur will look to use his pace around the court to cause his rivals problems.
With the nickname “Speed Demon”, De Minaur is well known for his impressive ability get around the court.
On the grass courts at Wimbledon, De Minaur will look to turn defence into attack and hope that can lead to a run of results to take him far into the tournament.
The 26-year-old has been knocking on the door in grand slam events in recent years, reaching the quarter-finals of all four major tournaments.
Making the quarter-finals at Wimbledon last year, De Minaur will be hoping to go a few steps further and is 34.00 to claim his maiden grand slam title of his career at SW19.
Healthy rivalry beginning to blossom
As tennis begins to move away from the golden age of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, a new rivalry has emerged.
Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are now regarded as the two elite players on the circuit, with the pair previously battling it out at the French Open final.
Alcaraz produced a stunning comeback to claim that title in Paris and now both players will be eyeing up Wimbledon glory.
Spanish star Alcaraz and Italy’s Sinner are joint-favourites at 2.50 to be crowned the 2025 Wimbledon men’s singles champion.
