Alex de Minaur added a second title to his stellar 2024 season when the top-seeded Australian dispatched Sebastian Korda 6-2 6-4 to triumph at the Libema Open at Rosmalen in the Netherlands.
De Minaur produced some trademark elite defence and counterpunching to nullify Korda's power on the 's-Hertogenbosch grass. With his ninth ATP Tour title safely in his kit bag, the 25-year-old will rise two spots to a career-high No. 7 in the PIF ATP Rankings on Monday.
"It achieves a new career-high for me, so that's always a great little bonus," said De Minaur in his on-court interview. "My first week on grass couldn't have gone any better, so I'm looking forward to next week at Queen's and the whole grass-court season with a smile on my face. I'm glad I was able to get a win here in Holland."
