De Minaur plans to shoot for double glory at Olympics

Alex de Minaur has revealed he will shoot for two golds in both singles and doubles at the Paris Olympic Games - and he hopes to warm up at Roland Garros by launching his best ever French Open next week. 

Australia's top player, who cruelly missed out on Tokyo in 2021 after being struck down with COVID just before the Games, told AAP from Paris that, as well as his singles bid, he will definitely team up for a crack at Olympic men's doubles glory.

Australia could qualify two men's doubles pairs for the July Olympic tournament on the Roland Garros clay - but former Wimbledon winner Max Purcell also told AAP on Friday he'll probably miss the Games as he pursues his ATP tour singles ambitions instead.
