Alex de Minaur won his second Newcombe Medal for his contributions to Australian tennis throughout 2023.
In 2018, the 24-year-old won his first Newcombe Medal, which he shared with former Australian Wta player and three-time Grand Slam winner Ashleigh Barty. The award recognizes the most talented and successful Australian tennis players each year.
A second Newcombe Medal for de Minaur comes after his most consistent season to date, where he won his first Atp 500 event at the Acapulco Open and helped Australia to reach the Davis Cup final in November.
When speaking about his second Newcombe Medal, and whilst reflecting on his achievement, de Minaur expressed gratitude for receiving the award yet again and shared his thanks to the medal's namesake, John 'Newk' Newcombe.

Alex de Minaur had the best season of his career, and he's leading the list of Nominees for the prestigious Newcombe Medal.
The Australian Tennis Awards are coming up, and one of them will get the prestigious Newcombe Medal. It's the award reserved for the best player from that country, as recent winners include Ashleigh Barty and Dylan Alcott.
This year's list of candidates includes six names, with de Minaur being the leading one among them. It's not the first time de Minaur has been nominated, and it wouldn't be the first time he won it if he ended up as the winner.
He won the award back in 2018 when he had his breakout, finishing the year as world number 31. This year de Minaur had the best season of his life. He finished with 47 wins and 27 losses.
He played in four finals but lost three of them; however, he finished...

Heartfelt adventure film about a young girl overcoming her fears has half-baked environmental messages and mistakes colour for creativity
Get our weekend culture and lifestyle email
Scarygirl is one of those animated productions so loaded with colour and bling, so lit up like a pinball machine, that merely absorbing it makes you feel old. While watching I couldn’t help but wonder if today’s youth consume too many flashing lights and loud noises – and, by the way, keep it down, some of us have to work in the morning.
Once accustomed to the film’s retina-straining shininess, it became increasingly clear the creative elements conjured by the directors Ricard Cussó and Tania Vincent are relegated almost entirely to the surface, because under the hood it’s very familiar indeed. An archetypal hero’s journey in which a youngster heeds the call of adventure, steps out of their comfort zone...

"We shouldn't have to change... No one should." Madman Films in Australia has unveiled an official trailer for a new animated movie called Scarygirl, based on an original idea by creator Nathan Jurevicius. This recently premiered at the 2023 Sydney Film Festival in Australia, hence why this new trailer is out now to follow up that debut. Arkie is an adopted 12-year-old girl, blind in one eye and with a tentacle-like arm, who lives on an isolated peninsula with her over-protective father Blister, a giant octopus. When her world is threatened by a loss of sunlight, a young girl must overcome her fears and journey to a fantastical city, save her father from a mysterious scientist and prevent the destruction of her planet. Starring Jillian Nguyen as the voice of Arkie, plus Sam Neill, Tim Minchin, Anna Torv, Liv Hewson, Mark Coles Smith, Deborah Mailman, and Dylan Alcott. Wow this looks way better than expected.
