Alex de Minaur Reaches Rotterdam Open Final After Dominating Mattia Bellucci

Posted : 08 February 2025

Alex de Minaur advanced to the final of the Rotterdam Open on Saturday, ending the impressive run of Italian qualifier Mattia Bellucci with a dominant 6-1, 6-2 win. De Minaur’s consistent play proved too much for Bellucci, who had earlier defeated top players Daniil Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas but struggled against the Australian’s solid game. Bellucci's error count grew as the match went on, contributing to his downfall.

 

The Australian will now face the winner of the semifinal between top-seeded Carlos Alcaraz and Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz. De Minaur was pleased with his performance, acknowledging the challenge Bellucci posed with his recent confidence and good form. “I’m very happy with the level today,” de Minaur commented after the match.

 

Bellucci, who was playing in his first ATP 500 semifinal, initially impressed with a trick shot through his legs in the opening game, but errors soon started to pile up. A double fault, missed smash, and unforced errors allowed De Minaur to break early and take a 3-0 lead in the first set. The Australian capitalized on his opponent’s mistakes, clinching the first set 6-1 with a forehand winner.

 

In the second set, De Minaur broke early again, as Bellucci’s forehand went wide. Bellucci fought back but couldn’t avoid more unforced errors, with the match ending when he sent a backhand long, his 30th mistake of the match. With this straight-set victory, De Minaur looks to claim his first Rotterdam title, a goal he has set after being a runner-up last year to world No. 1 Jannik Sinner.
