Wimbledon looms, and Aussie hope Alex de Minaur is already putting distance between his French Open let-down and the prospects for an all together brighter campaign in London.
The Australian No.1 has stormed into the final of this week's ATP event in s-Hertogenbosch, overwhelming Frenchman Adrian Mannarino, a former winner in Holland, 6-4 6-1 on Saturday.
He will meet third seed Daniil Medvedev or Kamil Majchrzak in Sunday's final.
De Minaur turned on the power to take the last 10 games, transforming a close-fought contest into a one-sided parade to reach his 21st career final. Winner here two years ago, another success would bring up De Minaur's 12th ATP title.
Mannarino had initially looked like making a fight of it, leading 3-0 and 4-2 in the first set before a run of unforced errors as De Minaur hit the turbo-boost button ended the match as a contest.
