Mattia Bellucci Insane shot Photograph: (Instagram)
The 2025 Rotterdam Open semi-final match is played between Australian player Alex De Minaur and Italy’s Mattia Bellucci. The ABN Amro Open tennis tournament is in its final phase with just two more matches left to play. The first semi-finals of the tour are played between Alex and Mattia, where the Australian dominated the game and won 6-1, 6-2 in straight sets. The World No. 8 reached the finals and will either face World No. 3 Carlos Alcaraz or Hubert Hurkacz.
But before that, during the semi-final match, the two played some exceptional shots between the Australian and the Italian. Alex De Minaur started his serve and soon it turned into a rally. Both the tennis players, not willing to give up the rally went for it all along. It was pure entertainment for the fans as the two were fierce in their return shots. But Alex De Minaur was surprised by a cheeky drop shot from Mattia Bellucci that forced him to come forward to the nets.

Then he gave it back with a wide shot and in response, Mattia Bellucci made an insane move by playing the ball between his legs and winning the point. The rally was pure entertainment and even the commentators were left dazzled by the incredible play between Alex and Mattia. The Italians lost the game to the Australians in straight sets but gave complete entertainment. Alex De Minaur is having a great 2025 season as he reached the quarterfinals of the 2025 Australian Open.
Despite losing the big match against Jannik Sinner, the Australian earned a big chunk of money, which will be helpful for his marriage expenses. Carlos Alcaraz, one of the biggest names in tennis, will play against Hubert Hurkacz and if he wins, he will reach the finals and play against Alex De Minaur. Playing against Alcaraz is a big moment for the Australian, and if he defeats him and wins the title, it will boost his confidence level for the rest of the year.
