Once again, Félix Auger-Aliassime has shown that there is no one more dangerous than him when the indoor season arrives. After clinching the title in Montpellier last Sunday, tomorrow we will see him competing to repeat in the ATP 500 in Rotterdam.

A tournament that he already knows how to win. It happened in 2022, when Félix Auger-Aliassime finally broke the curse of losing finals with a glorious week at the ATP 500 in Rotterdam. Many things have changed since then, but one thing remains: he is still the best when playing indoors. Tonight, we saw him deliver a resounding defeat to Alexander Bublik, surrendering only three games, to claim his eighth consecutive victory. He arrives full of confidence following his recent triumph in Montpellier, but it is clear he is hungry for more.

“It's important to have a streak like this, but you can't dwell on it too much because any given night you step out here could be the end of it, it could be the day it ends. Luckily for me, tonight was not that night. In fact, I think this has been my best match of the entire tournament in terms of pure level,” shared the current World No. 6 with a smile.

Despite floating through the week, the Canadian showcased a performance today like we had not seen before. In terms of quality, round, and opponent, today's spectacle was unmatched. “I don't know the match stats, but I have felt incredible in every aspect. I have felt a very high level of efficiency and precision. I have had very clear intentions in each exchange, felt very comfortable hitting the ball. When you feel like that on the court, it's a pleasure to play tennis […] Obviously, the feeling for the opponent is completely different, but for me, I leave with a great feeling,” added the Montreal native.

Alex De Minaur will be his opponent in the final

In his second final of the season, the second in a row, and the third in the Rotterdam tournament, it's easy to consider Félix Auger-Aliassime as the clear favorite for tomorrow. However, be cautious as he will face an opponent in Alex De Minaur who has also reached three consecutive finals in recent calendars, although the Australian has yet to taste victory. Nevertheless, looking at their head-to-head history, it's evident that it will be the best possible match to end the event.

“It's going to be a great showdown, the top seed against the second. He has always been up to the task here in the last three years, but now he plays against a different rival. I know he lost the last finals to Jannik and Carlos, but it's not the time to be friends now. Off the court, we are very good friends, we respect each other a lot, and tomorrow we will show that, you will see us fighting with sportsmanship. Only one can lift the trophy, so both of us will give our all,” declared Felix, who leads the head-to-head 3-1.
