Alex de Minaur is a nice bloke. He is not the one to stir up a storm by making controversial comments. At the press conference following their doubles match at the ATP Cup, James Duckworth and de Minaur were asked about Novak’s vaccine exemption for the Australian Open.

Duckworth suggested that if Djokovic met all the requirements, he had the right to get an exemption from an independent panel. Alex de Minaur cheekily replied that Duckworth had said all the right things in a politically correct way. Check out the video here.

Lindsay Davenport’s son Jagger Leach is only 14 but he is already 6 feet 2 inches tall. Leach recently had a good run at the under-14 Junior Orange Bowl Championships.

Since he is only 14 and has a lot of growing to do – both in height and in tennis terms- but there are a lot of signs that he will become a top tennis star in the future.

First, he has the genes. His mom Lindsay Davenport is a former world number 1 and a three-time grand slam champion. His dad Jon Leach was an All-American at USC. His uncle Rick Leach won 5 grand slam titles in doubles in the late eighties and early nineties.

Leach is currently training at the IMG Academy in Florida. He gets a lot of advice from his mom and dad. He is a hard worker and puts in time on the court to improve his game. It will be a while before he plays on the ATP tour but Jagger Leach is someone worth watching.
