ATP Tour: De Minaur, Rublev Storm Into Second Round Of Rotterdam Open
ATP Rotterdam Open: Alex de Minaur stormed into the second round of the ATP Rotterdam Open on Tuesday. The Australian third seed delivered a clinical performance to dispatch Belgium’s David Goffin 6-2, 6-4, extending his unbeaten record against the former World No. 7 to 6-0 in their ATP head-to-head battles.
Last year’s Rotterdam finalist, De Minaur looked in imperious form, covering every inch of the court with his trademark speed and turning defensive rallies into aggressive counterpunches. He outhit Goffin with 24 winners to 13 and converted his fourth break point in a tense second set to seal the victory in 96 minutes.
Despite his dominant display, De Minaur admitted the slow conditions in Rotterdam took some adjusting to. "It felt slow out here, quite tough to get used to the conditions," he said after the match. "The ball got massive… It's a very rough surface. I’m happy with my attitude today, I did exactly what I needed to do. David is a hell of a competitor, so I knew it was going to be a hell of a battle.”
