  "account": "Carlos Alcaraz claimed the Vienna Open title by defeating Alex de Minaur in straight sets, 6-1, 6-4. De Minaur, the world No. 1, had previously beaten world No. 1 Alexander Zverev in the semifinals, but could not secure a win against Alcaraz. The Spaniard has only dropped two sets to de Minaur in their seven previous encounters. Despite de Minaur's impressive performance, he couldn't break Alcaraz's dominance, resulting in the Australian's first loss to the young Spaniard. De Minaur expressed his frustration after the match, calling Alcaraz \"very annoying,\" but acknowledged his opponent's greatness. Following his loss, de Minaur will compete in the ATP Masters tournament in Paris, where he aims to secure a spot at the ATP Finals in Turin.",
  "summary": "Alex de Minaur's hopes of springing another major upset come undone at the hands of the rapant Spaniard in the final of the Vienna Open.",
