The big moment of the match came in game 10 of the second set as the Australian, who beat Andy Murray in the second round, broke Mannarino.
“It was a complete battle today – it could have gone either way,” De Minaur said during the trophy presentation.
“It’s been a hell of a week. It’s been tough, but we’ve put in the hard work (me and my team).”
