Alex de Minaur Ends Asics Deal, Plots Power Upgrade for Australian Summer

The world No. 7 targets a more powerful, risk-taking style to close a 0-18 gap to Alcaraz and Sinner.

Overview

  • De Minaur confirmed a split from Asics after 11 years via a joint Instagram post, with multiple outlets reporting an expected switch to Wilson apparel that has not been officially announced by the brand.
  • He has added a new fitness trainer and is focusing on getting bigger and stronger following an off-season push to boost durability and shot penetration.
  • The Australian says he is working on new weapons, greater variation and calculated risk to become more of a disruptor against the tour’s top two.
  • His combined record against Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner stands at 0-18, despite consolidating his status with a top-10 ranking and an ATP Finals semifinal in 2025.
  • He opens his 2026 campaign at the United Cup in Sydney, where he is slated to face world No. 12 Casper Ruud, before turning to the Australian Open.
