De Minaur Eases Past Inconsistent Humbert Into Rotterdam Final
- On Saturday, Australian player Alex de Minaur defeated French left-hander Ugo Humbert 6-4, 6-3 to reach a third consecutive Rotterdam Open final, a tournament first.
- De Minaur's patience and defence were decisive in slow conditions at the Ahoy Arena hardcourt, where dozens of unforced errors challenged both players but de Minaur stayed more consistent.
- Statistically, de Minaur held firm by saving every break point he faced and converting three of four break points to secure victory over Humbert.
- He will face either Felix Auger-Aliassime or Alexander Bublik on Sunday, aiming to become the first Australian winner since Lleyton Hewitt after losing his previous two Rotterdam finals.
- Having lost to Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz in previous finals, de Minaur said he could feel more confident this year as he seeks the title in Rotterdam.
