Alex de Minaur is being urged to take a leaf out of Novak Djokovic's serving book as Australia's tennis luminaries backed the Sydneysider to rebound from his deflating Wimbledon exit.
After de Minaur's fourth-round defeat by the great Djokovic, Todd Woodbridge, the 22-time grand slam doubles champ, and former finalist Mark Philippoussis both told AAP they backed de Minaur to respond strongly to the setback.
Woodbridge revealed he had spent a couple of hours with the "devastated" de Minaur after the match, when the Australian No.1 broke down the details of where he thought he had gone wrong.
