Alex de Minaur made a complaint about facing Carlos Alcaraz just minutes after losing to the Spaniard in the Vienna Open final. Alcaraz secured a comfortable 6-1 6-4 triumph over his Australian rival, who has never beaten him in any of their seven meetings.
It marked Alcaraz's fourth title of the year, having won the Australian Open as well as securing the honours in Doha and Tokyo. He will scoop the top prize of £437,718 for winning in Vienna, in addition to 500 ranking points.
De Minaur's Trophy Presentation Complaint
Both players delivered speeches during the trophy presentation, with De Minaur complaining that Alcaraz was particularly "annoying" to face.
He said: "Let me start off with Carlitos. Well done to you and your team. It's great to have you back on tour. I know all the fans appreciate it. I will say one thing, though. It is very annoying to play against you."
Alcaraz's Fourth Title of the Year
"But as I said many times, you're one of the good ones, one of the great guys on tour, so thank you very much, an amazing week."
The victory in Vienna adds to Alcaraz's season haul, which already included the Australian Open title and victories in Doha and Tokyo, along with the £437,718 prize and 500 ranking points.
