Australian tennis player Alex de Minaur took to social media after his Round 3 game at the 2024 Roland Garros, asking for people to find him his superfan. The young kid was seen cheering on de Minaur and when the match was over, the tennis star walked over to the kid and gave him a big embrace.
When he found him online, he made sure the kid was present at his important Round 4 game against Daniil Medvedev. This game against the number #5 seed was probably the biggest of his career and he was able to get in touch with the superfan, whose name was later revealed as ‘Paul’, and the kid was from France itself.
