ATP world No. 13 Alex de Minaur made a remarkable comeback against world No. 26 Alejandro Davidovich Fokina on Sunday night to take the Mubadala Citi DC Open title in three sets (5-7, 6-1, 7-6).
The Australian had his back against the wall and saved three championship points for Fokina in the third set to force a tournament-deciding tiebreak, which de Minaur won 7-3. Trailing five games to four in the third set on the verge of getting broken for the loss, de Minaur served to Fokina with the title in the balance.
