Historic success. Carlos Alcaraz won his first title on indoor hard court
Carlos Alcaraz triumphed at the ABN AMRO Open in Rotterdam, claiming his first title of 2025. In the final, he defeated Alex de Minaur 6-4, 3-6, 6-2, becoming the first Spaniard to win the tournament in its 52-year history.
Details: Despite a recent cold that required him to wear a nasal strip for easier breathing, Alcaraz had a strong week, securing five victories, three of which were in three sets. In the final, he earned his third career win over de Minaur and clinched his first indoor title.
Quote: "This week has been really good. I arrived here not in the best shape because of the illness, but with each day I felt better. Rotterdam became really special for me, not just because of the title, but also because of the incredible support from the fans," said the winner.
