With this victory, de Minaur is poised to rise to No. 8 in the ATP rankings, nearing his career-best of No. 6.

During the trophy presentation, de Minaur expressed gratitude for his return to Washington and praised Davidovich's talent, suggesting that his time to win a title will come soon.

De Minaur dominated the second set, winning it in just over 30 minutes with consistent serving and two crucial break points.

Alex de Minaur clinched the Washington Open title by defeating Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in a thrilling match that ended with a score of 5-7, 6-1, 7-6(3), showcasing his remarkable comeback after being a set down.

The match highlighted de Minaur's mental toughness, particularly during a pivotal 14-minute service game at 4-5, where he saved three championship points.
