Tennis Stars Go "De Minaur" on TikTok with Demure Swings

Tennis Stars Embrace the "De Minaur" TikTok Trend

At the Ultimate Tennis Showdown in New York, a group of elite tennis players participated in the latest TikTok trend, "de Minaur." The trend involves players performing a demure, shy, and cool swing.

Alex de Minaur, the Australian tennis star, is credited with popularizing the trend. When asked about the meaning of "de Minaur," Andrey Rublev explained that it refers to de Minaur's last name and that the words "shy" and "cool" can have different meanings depending on the context.

Rublev and Denis Shapovalov demonstrated a one-swing attempt, with Rublev placing a hand on his hip. Casper Ruud offered a more condensed swing, while Nick Kyrgios emphasized the shyness aspect with a reserved swing and walk off frame.

Stefanos Tsitsipas fully embraced the trend, delivering a highly demure performance. However, it was de Minaur himself who showcased the most authentic interpretation. He turned his body, shadowed a slow-motion forehand, and made direct eye contact with the camera, exuding confidence and self-awareness.

The "de Minaur" trend has gained popularity on TikTok, with users creating their own versions of the demure swing. The trend highlights the playful and creative side of tennis players, showcasing their ability to connect with fans beyond the court.
