Canada’s Auger-Aliassime Loses to De Minaur in Rotterdam Final
De Minaur won his 11th ATP title and first indoor crown by breaking a 78-service-hold streak and overcoming Auger-Aliassime’s physical struggles in the final.
- On Sunday, Alex de Minaur defeated Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-3, 6-2 to win the Rotterdam Open, marking a landmark week for the Australian.
- De Minaur reached a third consecutive final at the Ahoy Arena, a first in the tournament's history, and capitalised on the absence of the world's top two at the Dutch event this week.
- Key moments included the end of a 78-service-hold run and late medical attention for Auger-Aliassime, as de Minaur broke in the sixth game with a backhand winner.
- The win gave de Minaur the 11th ATP title of his career and his first indoor crown, making him only the second Australian winner in the Rotterdam Open's 54-year history.
- Despite an eight-match winning streak, Auger-Aliassime showed signs of strain and needed treatment for an apparent hip problem after winning Montpellier and beating Alexander Bublik.
