As the 2025 Australian major tennis tournament approaches, Alex de Minaur, Australia’s No. 1 tennis player, is settling into his temporary home near Rod Laver Arena – an Airbnb.
Known for his relentless energy on the court, “The Demon” values the calm and comfort of staying in a space that feels like home, especially during the high-pressure tournament season.
“Staying in an Airbnb gives me the privacy and peace of mind I need to focus on my game,” said de Minaur. “I’m always grateful for my fans’ support, but having a place to call my own – where I can make my meals, relax and switch off – is an important part of my routine.”
For Alex, finding the right place to stay isn’t just about convenience, it’s about creating an environment where he can recharge mentally and physically. “Airbnb feels less like being on the road and more like being at home, and that’s what makes the difference for me,” he added.
As fans gear up to watch Alex take on the world’s best, he’s also shared a personal wishlist of Airbnbs with or near tennis courts across Australia – perfect for those inspired to book a unique stay and hit the courts themselves.
