De Minaur’s Roland-Garros performance propelled him back inside the top 10 to No.9, but the ’s-Hertogenbosch title will see him leapfrog Hubert Hurkacz and Casper Ruud to climb another two spots. He is making a habit of going deep at almost every tournament he plays, with this success following back-to-back triumphs at Acapulco in February.
But the sweet-striking Korda struggled in most of his service games and that proved his downfall against de Minaur, one of the tour’s great returners.
