Alex de Minaur<\/a> collected one of his biggest prize money hauls of 2025 after winning the UTS Grand Final in London for a second successive year after a thrilling win against Casper Ruud in the final.<\/p>\n

A big crowd at London\u2019s Copper Box lapped up the fast-paced UTS action, with matches played over four quarters and players only having one serve per point.<\/p>\n

The two players with the highest ATP Ranking competing in the end-of-season event highlighted their class by reaching the final and it was De Minaur who prevailed, as he won a whopping $640,000 for his three days work.<\/p>\n

That is a little less than he collected at last month\u2019s ATP Finals ($727,500), but more than he collected for his run to the US Open quarter-finals in September, where he left New York with $660,000.<\/p>\n

De Minaur is preparing for his wedding to British tennis player Katie Boulter next year, so their fund of that special event has been boosted healthily in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s amazing to win here again,\u201d said De Minaur. \u201cLondon is a special place for me and it\u2019s my home now, so it\u2019s always great to play at this event and even better to win again.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had some tough matches here this week and play Casper in the final was always going to be difficult so it\u2019s amazing to come through.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no rest for me now. I might take Monday off, but then it\u2019s back on court practicing for the new season.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked about his love of UTS tennis, De Minaur confirmed the all-action event suits his game.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve played a few of the UTS events now and I\u2019ve enjoyed it. Having only one serve is an interesting mindset change and I enjoy trying to adapt to it,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cI find the noise and chaos of UTS a little easier to deal with when I know it\u2019s coming and that\u2019s the case in UTS. When everything is quiet, you hear every noise, but it\u2019s never quiet at UTS and it showed me that I can play like that.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou get used to the fact that the crowd are going nuts, screaming and the music is playing and it means you have to find a different way to focus in on playing points.\u201d<\/p>\n

UTS mastermind Patrick Mouratoglou has already booked in two events for 2026 and given the success of his third successive end-of-season showpiece in London, we can expect to see more of the enjoyable mayhem created by this competition back in England\u2019s capital next December.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alex de Minaur collected one of his biggest prize money hauls of 2025 after winning the UTS Grand…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":331255,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[442],"tags":[49,48,82,593],"class_list":["post-331254","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/331254","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=331254"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/331254\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/331255"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=331254"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=331254"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=331254"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
