ROTTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) — Carlos Alcaraz secured his first indoor title by beating Alex de Minaur in the final of the Rotterdam Open on Sunday.
The top-seeded Alcaraz won 6-4, 3-6, 6-2 to become the first Spanish champion in the tournament’s 52-year history.
It was a 17th title for the 21-year-old Alcaraz but his first indoor one.
“This week has been a really good week,” Alcaraz said. “Putting in really good work. Coming here (not) feeling 100% well with the cold but after every day I’m feeling better and better.
“It was the first time that I (was) playing here and you (fans) made it like I’ve been playing this tournament for a long time.”
