Alex de Minaur will be aiming for his 10th career title when he takes on superstar Carlos Alcaraz in the ATP Rotterdam final on Monday morning (AEDT).

De Minaur has never beaten Alcaraz in an official match, but has defeated the Spaniard twice in exhibition matches in Australia over the past 13 months.
Can the Aussie start defeating some of the behemoths of the game? Or will it be the same story of him falling short against the best?
