‘Very annoying to play against’: Demon loses Vienna final to Alcaraz, but Turin hopes still alive

Carlos Alcaraz, the seven-time Grand Slam champion, outplayed Alex de Minaur 6-1, 6-4 to secure the Vienna Open title on Sunday. This victory marked Alcaraz's seventh win over de Minaur in their seven meetings. The Spaniard demonstrated his versatility by overcoming de Minaur on grass, clay, indoor, and outdoor hard courts. Alcaraz sealed his fourth title of the year, alongside his Australian Open Grand Slam win, with his characteristic finesse.

De Minaur, the fifth-seeded player, aimed for his second title of the year, having already claimed the semifinal spot in the ATP 500 event by defeating Alexander Zverev. Alcaraz also defeated Daniil Medvedev in the other semi-final.
