Alex de Minaur defended his Mexican Open title on Saturday night after defeating Casper Ruud 6-4 6-4 in the final. Despite now having a trophy to show for his good start to the season, de Minaur said he couldn't hang around for long.
When asked during the presentation whether he will be attending a post-tournament party, the Australian replied: "No, I cannot because I've got a 6am flight to go to Tijuana and go and watch Katie (Boulter) play in the final so I'm looking forward to that."

De Minaur and Boulter have been in a relationship since March 2022. The Brit is in her first WTA 500 final at the San Diego Open, where she has seen off Lesia Tsurenko, Beatriz Haddad Maia, Donna Vekic and Emma Navarro. Boulter will face Ukrainian Marta Kostyuk in the Sunday showpiece (00:00 GMT).
The win in Acapulco is de Minaur's eighth on the ATP Tour and despite not playing his best, he admitted he felt at home in Central America. "Acapulco has been a very good place to me for my tennis career. The first time I won a 500, and the first time I've defended a title in my career. I feel at home here and it’s a great place to be."

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
