Carlos Alcaraz wins his first indoor title at the ABN AMRO Open, defeating Alex de Minaur in the final.

Carlos Alcaraz has etched his name in history by clinching his first indoor title at the ABN AMRO Open in Rotterdam. The young Spaniard triumphed over Alex de Minaur in a thrilling final, winning with a scoreline of 6-4, 3-6, 6-2. This victory not only marks Alcaraz`s 17th tour-level title but also makes him the first Spanish champion in the tournament`s 52-year history.

Despite battling a cold that necessitated the use of a nasal strip for better breathing, Alcaraz showcased his resilience and skill. The match lasted one hour and 54 minutes, with Alcaraz demonstrating dominance in the final set by breaking de Minaur`s serve twice while not facing a single break point himself.

This win adds to Alcaraz`s remarkable achievements, following his historic feat last year of becoming the first player to secure ATP 500 titles on clay, grass, and hard courts. Meanwhile, de Minaur, who was aiming for his 10th tour-level title, will see his ranking rise back to a career-high No. 6 in the PIF ATP Rankings on Monday. Alcaraz`s strong return of serve in the final set was particularly praised, and he expressed heartfelt gratitude for the support from fans during his debut in Rotterdam.
