There's something about team tennis that seems to bring the best out of Alex de Minaur, which is why Australia's main man is happy to fly 16,500km from Brisbane to London to help Andre Agassi's Team World retain the Laver Cup.
Davis Cup strong man de Minaur won both his singles rubbers for Australia in last weekend's World Group I tie in Queensland to help sink Poland, and now he has his eyes set on maintaining his unbeaten singles record against Team Europe in the Laver Cup at the O2 Arena.
It means after his heroics at the Pat Rafter Arena, he's now linked up with Rafter himself, who's assistant to World captain Andre Agassi for tennis's rather more light-hearted answer to the Ryder Cup, in which Europe's finest tackle the best of the rest of the world.
