Alex de Minaur is into the second week of Roland-Garros as he looks to build on his best-ever performance at the French Open.

After defeating Jan-Lennard Struff in a tricky four-setter, his next challenge is Daniil Medvedev.

During his matches, the camera regularly pans to his player box, which typically consists of his coaching staff, along with some family and friends.

The Sporting News takes a look at the coaching team that helped him secure a career-best top 10 ranking in 2024.

Who is Alex de Minaur’s coach?

Spanish coach Adolfo Gutierrez has guided Alex de Minaur since the age of nine.

The partnership was formed when the Aussie’s family moved to Alicante in Spain – a city they ended up living in for eight years.

“Adolfo, he’s been like my second father, like a father figure,” de Minaur said during the Australian Open.

“We’ve been together now for 16 years.

“He took me in as a young kid to the point where my family would obviously struggle to pay him at times. He took me in. He would do countless hours with me.”

De Minaur also added to his coaching team last year, bringing in Australian Peter Luczak on a part-time basis.

The former Davis Cup player has also coached fellow Australians Jordan Thompson and the now-retired John Millman.
