After an outstanding role on clay, the Australian tennis player Alex de Minaur (9th) transferred his positive feelings towards the Hertogenbosch lawnwhere he defeated 6-2 and 6-4 Sebastian Korda (26°) this Sunday to raise his ninth title, second during the current season.
One hour and 34 minutes It took the Sydney-born, 25-year-old, recent quarter-finalist in Monte-Carlo and Roland Garros, to impose his status as top favorite of the competition against the seventh seed, 23 and executioner of his compatriot Tommy Paul (13th), totaling two aces, three double faults, 77% points earned on your first serve, five break points concretized and two breaks awarded.
In this way, the versatile right-hander, who had the pleasure of defeating the legendary Novak Djokovic (3rd) and Rafael Nadal (264th) in recent months, added a new crown to his record, second in grassafter Sydney 2019, Atlanta 2019 and 2022, Zhuhai 2019, Antalya 2021, Eastbourne 2021, and Acapulco 2023 and 2024, climbing to the seventh place in the ranking to achieve your best historical location.
For his part, the son of the historic Petr Korda, who will also rise in the ranking, registered another disappointment in a definition at the highest level, as in Delray Beach, Gijón 2022, Antwerp 2022, Adelaide I 2023 and Astana 2023, only winning in Parma.
