Alex de Minaur keeps rolling strong at the ABN AMRO Open in Rotterdam 2026. On February 14, the Australian world No. 8 powered past France’s Ugo Humbert in the semifinals, advancing to his third consecutive final at this ATP 500 event.
De Minaur defeated Humbert 6-4, 6-3 in just one hour and 31 minutes. He saved all 10 break points he faced, showcasing his trademark defensive grit and precision under pressure. This win extended his head-to-head lead over Humbert to 6-2.
This milestone makes de Minaur the first player in Rotterdam tournament history to reach three straight championship matches. He finished runner-up in the past two editions and now holds a 17-5 record at the event overall.
De Minaur’s success ties into a bigger achievement since 2023. He leads the ATP Tour with 52 wins at the 500 level—more than Carlos Alcaraz (44), Jannik Sinner (43), Alexander Zverev (43), and Daniil Medvedev (42). He’s claimed three titles in that span, including Acapulco twice and Washington.
“I’m super proud of the efforts,” de Minaur said after the match. “There were a lot of tough moments… But I managed to dig myself out and I’m super pumped to be in another final here.”
De Minaur now faces Felix Auger-Aliassime in the Rotterdam 2026 final. Auger-Aliassime comes in hot after beating Alexander Bublik 6-1, 6-2, extending his streak to eight wins. The Canadian leads their head-to-head 3-1.
This push highlights de Minaur’s consistency on the ATP circuit. As he chases that elusive Rotterdam title, fans are watching closely—could 2026 finally be his year to lift the trophy? Stay tuned for the final showdown. (Word count: 378)
