Jannik Sinner followed his grand slam breakthrough at January’s Australian Open by claiming the Rotterdam Open title with a 7-5, 6-4 win over Alex de Minaur. The top seed, Sinner, who lost to Daniil Medvedev in last year’s Rotterdam final, missed set points against his Australian opponent before wrapping up the first set with a late break.
In the second set, there was another exchange of service breaks, but Sinner managed to control his opponent’s serve once again and took a 4-3 lead. He ultimately defeated the Australian for the seventh time in their professional meetings and secured his 12th singles title. This win marks Sinner’s 15th consecutive victory and will move him up to third place in the world rankings on Monday.
