On February 15, 2026, the ATP 500 Rotterdam Open final concluded with top seed Alex Deminor defeating second seed Aliassime in straight sets 6-3, 6-2, capturing his first title at this event, his first of the season, and the 11th of his career.

The match took just 78 minutes, with Deminor maintaining full control and halting his rival’s eight-match winning streak on indoor hard courts. Having reached the Rotterdam final for three consecutive years, he finally achieved his dream of lifting the trophy, demonstrating consistent dominance. With the ranking points earned, Deminor rose two spots in the ATP rankings, reclaiming his career-best sixth position.

The 26-year-old Australian star, known for his balanced offense and defense as well as exceptional stamina and resilience, strengthened his position among the top players in men’s tennis by winning Rotterdam and returning to the top 6, injecting strong momentum into the upcoming North American hard court season.

Deminor reached the Rotterdam final in the previous two years as well, losing to Alcaraz in 2025 and to Sinner in 2024. Fans look forward to his continued efforts, hoping he will one day break the dominance of the Sinner-Alcaraz duo.
