Alex de Minaur hits back at trolls criticizing him for his loss in quarterfinals vs Jannik Sinner in AO 2025

Tennis star Alex de Minaur has hit back on Twitter after one of the well-known tennis bloggers and internet personalities, named Pavvy G, posted hugely critical comments about the Aussie favourite Alex de Minaur after his loss against world number one Jannik Sinner in the quarterfinals of the 2025 Australian Open at Rod Laver Arena of the Melbourne Park on January 22.

De Minaur crashed out at the quarterfinal stage of the tournament after suffering a crushing 3-6, 2-6, 1-6 defeat to the 23-year-old Italian. It's worth mentioning to note that it was Sinner's 10th win over the 25-year-old in as many matches, during which he's only surrendered one of 24 sets.

In his X comment, Pavvy G, who describes himself as a tennis blogger and a huge Serbian ace Novak Djokovic supporter, was unforgiving in his criticism of Australian De Minaur's performance. He wrote that the Aussie star has no self-belief to defeat the world number one.

Hey mate it’s a shame that you never became a good enough player to experience playing Jannik. I’m sure you would’ve put up a better performance and know exactly how to beat him. Wishing you all the best!!!

"Alex De Minaur has zero self-belief that he can even compete with Sinner, let alone beat him. Awful performance from him," Pavvy G wrote on X

Following the same, De Minaur didn't take the comments lying down and responded by trolling him.

"Hey, mate, it’s a shame that you never became a good enough player to experience playing Jannik. I’m sure you would’ve put up a better performance and know exactly how to beat him. Wishing you all the best!!!," Alex de Minaur responded.

Meanwhile, Alex de Minaur hailed the world number one, Jannik Sinner, for playing a great game against him in the quarterfinals.

"He was very good today. I think, you know, with the conditions a little bit slower and a little bit later at night, it's pretty tough to make him miss or hurt him, and, yeah, he was bloody good tonight," Alex de Minaur said after the loss.
