Tournament winner Majchrzak can’t believe his first title: ‘Surreal’

The 2026 Libéma Open turned into a straight-up dream tournament for Kamil Majchrzak. The 30-year-old Pole had never won an ATP tournament before arriving in Brabant this year. He departs with a smile on his face and the winners’ trophy under his arm, following a victory over former champion Alex de Minaur.

“It’s an incredible feeling and an emotional moment to win my first ATP title here in ‘s-Hertogenbosch. I’m going to enjoy this to the fullest,” the late bloomer said after his thrilling 6-3, 2-6, 7-6(5) victory over the Australian world-class player.

“My dream has come true. All the hard work I put into it with my coaches and family has paid off.”

The way Majchrzak secured the prize made the title run even sweeter. He became only the second player to defeat three top-10 players in an ATP 250 tournament. Before De Minaur, he had also beaten Daniil Medvedev and Félix Auger-Aliassime on grass earlier that week.

“To defeat three top-10 players is surreal. I won’t lie, it’s an achievement I’m very proud of. It was a very strong tournament and a great start to the grass season. I was brave on the important moments this week and lucky here and there,” said Majchrzak, who is also set to achieve a ranking milestone.

“I’ve had chances to break into the top 50 before, but I missed them every time. Fortunately, this time it finally worked out!”
