Australian tennis ace Alex de Minaur has been in top form this season, consistently reaching the round of 16 in tournaments since his early exit from the Australian Open. At the Barcelona Open, the 25-year-old candidly admitted to being a challenging work colleague at times.

Over a month ago, at the Indian Wells Masters, de Minaur volunteered as a parking attendant with several ATP and WTA stars also volunteering. In a fan interaction with players at the Barcelona Open, the Aussie was told by a fan that he would love to be his colleague. 

I would love Alex de Minaur to be my work colleague.
a fan said

The ATP World No.11 said he can be a horrible company but would love to be on his good days.

What a funny and sweet guy. I appreciate it. Sometimes I'm not a bad company. Other days, I'm a horrible company. So, you've got to get me on a good day.

The Australian star captured the spotlight a few days ago when he defeated Rafael Nadal in the Round of 32 of the Barcelona Open. He became the first Aussie to beat both Novak Djokovic and Nadal in the same year.

The 25-year-old was unable to meet up with the ferocious forehands of Fils, who became the youngest player to reach the tournament quarterfinals this year. In de Minaur’s last ATP 500 competition, he won the title beating Casper Ruud.

For Fils, it was his biggest victory on the tour this season. He will face Dusan Lajovic, who the Frenchman beat in Buenos Aires. He will also be hoping he reaches his second semifinals of the season.
