Down and out in Paris, crestfallen Alex de Minaur has complained of feeling burnt out and mentally weary following a "miracle" French Open capitulation, sighing it's time for him to change.
The never-say-die 'Demon' has never seemed so downcast as he tried to make sense of how he lost his second-round contest 2-6 2-6 6-4 6-3 6-2 to comeback wizard Alexander Bublik from a position on Thursday where "99.9 per cent of the time" he would have won.
"There's no excuse for myself, what happened today. I need to look at myself in the mirror and find out the reason, because ultimately this isn't going to change. I have to adapt and make sure it doesn't happen again," lamented the world No.9.
