The final of the Rotterdam race was played against two of the world's top 10 players. Top seed Alcaraz, who is making his debut in Rotterdam, faces last year's runner-up De Minaur, who has just reached the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam at this year's Australian Open.
In the end, Arca came out on top and won the championship trophy. So far, he has won 17 titles in 22 finals, which can be said to be quite a good result.
So who did Arca lose to in all five of their 17-5 finals record? Let's see:
Hamburg 2022 lost to Musetti
It was Arca's first final defeat and her first tour title. The Italian's outburst was actually a long time coming, and in the previous French Open, he once led Deyo in two sets, and his clay strength has already been proven. This time, the battle between two post-00s ended in Musetti's victory.
In 2022, Sofia lost to Sinner
Both post-00 leaders, Arca and Sinner happen to have won the championship of this event. This time it was a narrow encounter, and Sinner won a rare victory over Acre on clay.
Lost to Norrie in Rio 2023
In the highlight of the South American spring clay match, the defending champion was injured and lost to Norrie, who was still the first brother of England at the time.
Lost to Djokovic at the 2023 Cincinnati Masters
This is the best matchup of the tour of the year! After losing to Acre in the Wimbledon final, Djokovic lost his chance to tie Federer's eight-time title, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, fate quickly fulfilled him, and in the following Cincinnati Masters finals, the two met again. This time, the two sides fought three sets, and finally Deyo avenged the Wimbledon defeat. After the victory, he also breathed a sigh of relief, and tore the clothes on his chest to vent to his heart's content.
Lost to Deyo in the final of the 2024 Olympic Games
It was the most memorable defeat in Arca's many finals. After all, the Olympics are held every four years, and Acre was once relatively close to victory. Perhaps God favored Djokovic, who persevered in his quest for an Olympic singles gold medal, the Serbian king finally got his long-cherished wish and completed the final piece of the puzzle of his career glory. However, Aka is still young, and he still has a lot of time to chase this honor in the future.
That's how Acre lost in five finals. Of course, Aka's win rate in the final has declined over time, and he has not lost in the indoor and grass finals so far. At Wimbledon this year, are you optimistic about it winning three consecutive titles? How much will he do in the year-end finals?? (Source: Tennis Home Author: Luo Cheng Qiye)
