De Minaur: 'Federer is GOAT but I don't think about possibly facing him'
Alex De Minaur could face Roger Federer if the Australian beats Grigor Dimitrov or Majchrzak in the fourth round on Sunday and if the Swiss prevails over David Goffin. The Australian player was asked if he was aware of the potential meeting against the Swiss. "I don't think about that because I don't look at the draw. Now I know... I've got my fourth-round match, which is the winner between Dimitrov and Majchrzak, so everything goes into that match. Nothing changes. I will do all the same things. I'll take it as a big opportunity, as I did for this match. This is where I want to be, so I'll go out there and leave 100%. Nothing changes", said De Minaur.
Asked what nickname he would give Federer, De Minaur replied: "Oh, you know, it's probably one of the easiest ones: GOAT."
What's De Minaur's nickname? "Demon. That's something that's sort of catched on in Australia. And, yeah, I don't mind it." Where did it come from? "Not sure, to be honest. I like to think it's got something to do with sort of my fiery attitude on court. Just, you know, I get pretty fired up and pumped up. I'd like to think it's something to do with that", concluded the Aussie.
