“This week has been a really good week,” Alcaraz said. “Putting in really good work. Coming here (not) feeling 100% well with the cold but after every day I'm feeling better and better.

“It was the first time that I (was) playing here and you (fans) made it like I've been playing this tournament for a long time.”

De Minaur lost to Jannik Sinner in last year's Rotterdam final.

“We're pushing for bigger and better things,” the Australian said. “It's been two years now with this runner-up trophy. I'm hoping I'll get my hand on the winners' one day.”
