Carlos Alcaraz said Sunday that he had not missed Jannik Sinner at this week's Rotterdam Open, seizing on the world number one's absence to clinch his first indoor title. Sinner pulled out at the last moment from the Rotterdam draw after triumphing at last month's Australian Open.

The world No.8, who lost last year's final to Jannik Sinner, has given himself another chance to become the only Australian apart from Lleyton Hewitt in 2004 to triumph in Rotterdam as he blitzed his way to a 6-1 6-2 victory in just 67 minutes.

Carlos Alcaraz defeated Alex de Minaur 6-4, 3-6, 6-2 in the final of the Rotterdam Open on Sunday, claiming a first indoor trophy of his career alongside titles on grass, clay and hardcourt.
