Alex de Minaur has earned the perfect 25th birthday present, booking a place in the final of the Rotterdam Open with an emphatic revenge win over Grigor Dimitrov.
At the same event on de Minaur's birthday in 2023, Bulgaria's Dimitrov proved a veritable party pooper by knocking out the Australian No.1 in the quarter-finals.
But 'Demon' avenged that narrow defeat emphatically in the Rotterdam Ahoy arena in Saturday's (Sunday AEDT) semi-final with a 6-4 6-3 win that has set him up with a final against Australian Open champion Jannik Sinner.
