Alcaraz reaches the Rotterdam Open final, facing De Minaur, while Wang and Bucsa compete in Qatar.

Carlos Alcaraz has advanced to the final of the Rotterdam Open after a gripping three-set match against Hubert Hurkacz. Alcaraz showcased his tenacity, winning the match 6-4, 6-7 (5/7), 6-3. Despite an early setback, he broke Hurkacz`s serve to clinch the first set. The second set saw Hurkacz take the lead in a tie-break, capitalizing on a double fault from Alcaraz. However, in the decisive third set, Alcaraz regained control, breaking Hurkacz`s serve early and maintaining his advantage to secure his spot in the final.

In the final, Alcaraz will face Alex de Minaur, who defeated Italian qualifier Mattia Bellucci in straight sets, 6-1, 6-2. De Minaur`s impressive performance sets the stage for an exciting showdown against Alcaraz, who is eager to claim the title.

Meanwhile, at the Qatar Total Energies Open 2025, Elina Avanesyan is preparing to face Xinyu Wang in the second round. Wang leads their head-to-head 2-0, having recently reached the semi-finals at the Singapore Tennis Open before retiring due to a right thigh injury. Another intriguing match features Cristina Bucsa against Anna Kalinskaya, with Kalinskaya holding a 2-0 advantage in their encounters. Despite injury struggles this season, Kalinskaya aims to perform well, while Bucsa, ranked World No. 98, looks to build on her recent form after navigating the qualifiers successfully.
