Third time lucky as De Minaur finally wins in Rotterdam

The top-seed had lost the previous two finals to Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, but he seized on the absence of the world's top two to make it third time lucky. "It feels great to finally be able to lift the title," said the world number eight. "Every day I got better and I'm super pleased with the performance today," he added. Canada's Auger-Aliassime threw everything at the 26-year-old but the Australian soaked up the pressure and retrieved brilliantly to finally take the crown in Rotterdam.
