Alcaraz wins his first indoor title in Rotterdam!

Carlos Alcaraz won the ATP 500 Rotterdam on Sunday, defeating Alex De Minaur 6-4, 3-6, 6-2 in the final.

In the first set, the world no. 3 had quickly taken the lead, breaking and leading 3-1, but De Minaur, who was very combative, didn't let himself be beaten and managed to close the gap (4-4) and even the score.

However, it was at this point in the match that Alcaraz once again showed his talent, breaking again with a backhand passing shot along the line.

After that, all he had to do was finish his serve to win the first set.

More aggressive after losing the first set, De Minaur surprised Alcaraz, who, without a solution, was once again facing a decisive set in Rotterdam.

Diligent and ready to fight again, the Spaniard made the decisive break at 3-2 to win the final and become the first player from his country to be crowned Dutch champion.

This is Alcaraz's first indoor title and the sixth ATP 500 of his career.

For his part, De Minaur, beaten in the final for the second year running in Rotterdam, will console himself tomorrow by returning to world number 6 and equalling his career-high ranking.
