Alex de Minaur ended his fantastic 2024 season in style with a UTS Grand Final victory over Holger Rune.
De Minaur loves the UTS Tour prize money, having been competing for the top prize at London’s Copper Box Arena over the last week.
The Australian defeated Rune, Jan-Lennard Struff and Alexander Bublik to top his group, before De Minaur clinched a semi-final win over Gael Monfils.
De Minaur finished ninth in the year-end rankings, having won ATP Tour titles at the Libema Open and Acapulco in 2024.
And he has now added the Ultimate Tennis Showdown (UTS) title to his honours list, with over 21,000 fans having watched his final win.

ATP No.9 Alex de Minaur makes prediction about his career
De Minaur has every reason to be delighted with his season, particularly given that it was disrupted by injury.
But he ended 2024 with a 47-21 win-loss record, with his two tour-level titles taking his career tally to nine.
Perhaps Grand Slam success will now be on his mind, with the Australian certainly making strides in major events.
After a fourth round exit on home soil at the Australian Open last time out, he reached three successive quarter-finals.

Discussing his latest season and indeed his future goals, he said: “It definitely has been the best season yet, but I don’t think it’s going to be the best season of my career.
“I want to keep on improving, keep on being better. I want to use everything I’ve learned this year and put it towards 2025.”
Alex de Minaur secures a £624k* pre Christmas pay day. For reference that’s almost as much as the winning Doubles pair at Wimbledon (£650k) and a lot more than his £375k Wimbledon Quarter-finals earnings 🤯💰
