Kamil Majchrzak defeated Daniil Medvedev 7-6, 6-1 in the semifinal at 's‑Hertogenbosch to set up a final with 2024 champion Alex de Minaur.
Majchrzak’s win was emphatic on the stats that mattered: he saved both break points he faced, held all nine of his service games and converted three breaks from six opportunities, closing the match in an hour and a half. The victory improved his record to 3-4 lifetime against Top 10 opponents and followed, one day earlier, a win over top-seeded Felix Auger-Aliassime — Majchrzak’s first career Top-5 win — a run that has carried him into his first ATP final as only the sixth man from Poland to do so.
On the other side, Alex de Minaur advanced with a 6-4, 6-0 semifinal win over Adrian Mannarino. De Minaur arrives in the championship match with a string of results on Dutch soil — he has gone 20-2 since the start of 2024 and stretched his winning run at 's‑Hertogenbosch to seven after taking the 2024 Rotterdam title. As he put it bluntly after his victory: "The Netherlands has been a very good country for me," and "So I’m hoping I can get the job done tomorrow and that would be a great ending to an unbelievable week."
The matchup sharpens the tournament’s central contradiction: Majchrzak has just knocked out the top seed and the third seed in successive days, yet his reward is a title match against a player who has dominated in the Netherlands this season. That juxtaposition — sudden, high-quality upsets versus sustained local supremacy — is the simplest way to measure what the final will mean for both men.
Beyond the headlines, the match-up sets contrasting tests. Majchrzak’s semifinal performance combined clutch serving (nine holds, both break points saved) with opportunism (three breaks). De Minaur’s week has been defined by consistency and momentum on grass in the Netherlands, culminating in the lopsided semifinal scoreline and a deeper seasonal body of wins that includes the Rotterdam crown.
What changes tomorrow is binary: Majchrzak can complete an improbable sequence — back-to-back scalps over Top-5 and Top-3 opponents plus a victory over the tournament’s defending champion — and claim his first ATP title, or de Minaur can reinforce the pattern that has made Dutch soil an unusually friendly surface for him this year.

The most consequential unanswered question from these semifinals is simple and specific: can Majchrzak turn two headline wins into a title against a player who has already made the Netherlands a personal stronghold in 2024? Whoever answers that tomorrow will leave 's‑Hertogenbosch with the trophy and a result that will reframe both men’s grass-court narratives for the weeks that follow.
