Kamil Majchrzak beats Alex de Minaur in the Libema Open final to win his first ATP Tour title after a dream run in the Netherlands.
Kamil Majchrzak completed one of the biggest stories of the grass-court season as he stunned Alex de Minaur in the Libema Open final in the Netherlands, winning 6-3, 2-6, 7-6(5) to claim the first ATP Tour title of his career.
The Polish player, who had already produced a dream run in ’s-Hertogenbosch, held his nerve in a dramatic deciding-set tiebreak to deny the second-seeded Australian and finish a remarkable week in style.
Majchrzak started the final with confidence and aggression, taking the opening set 6-3 as he matched De Minaur’s speed and consistency from the baseline. The Pole looked composed, served with purpose and refused to allow De Minaur to settle into his usual rhythm.
De Minaur, however, responded like a top-class competitor in the second set. The Australian lifted his intensity, began to dominate the longer rallies and took control of the set to win it 6-2, forcing the final into a decider.
The third set became a tense battle of nerves. Majchrzak had chances, De Minaur fought back, and both players pushed each other deep into the final stages of the match. With the title on the line, the contest moved into a deciding tiebreak, where Majchrzak produced the stronger tennis at the biggest moment.
The 30-year-old played with courage, moving De Minaur around the court and taking his chances when they came. He eventually sealed the tiebreak 7-5, completing a famous victory and an emotional breakthrough on the ATP Tour.
This was not just a final win. It was the perfect ending to a stunning week for Majchrzak, who beat three top-10 players on his way to the title. He defeated Felix Auger-Aliassime in the quarter-finals, Daniil Medvedev in the semi-finals, and then De Minaur in the championship match.
For De Minaur, the defeat will be disappointing, especially after he had forced the match into a deciding set. The Australian had been chasing another title in the Netherlands and had looked in strong form throughout the tournament, but Majchrzak’s belief and bravery proved decisive.
Majchrzak’s victory also gives him a major boost ahead of Wimbledon. Winning a grass-court title against such high-level opposition will give him huge confidence, while also announcing him as one of the most dangerous players to watch during the rest of the grass season.
In a week full of upsets, resilience and fearless tennis, Majchrzak produced the performance that mattered most. From underdog to champion, his Libema Open run will be remembered as one of the standout stories of the 2026 ATP season.
