For half an hour, Alex de Minaur looked vulnerable. For the rest, he looked inevitable. The second-seeded Australian shook off a 2-4 deficit against Adrian Mannarino to win the final 10 games of the match, closing out a 6-4, 6-0 semifinal rout to reach his second final at the Libéma Open without dropping a set all week.
The 2024 champion returns to the title match. Dropped serve twice early in gloomy conditions, de Minaur simply stopped missing, reeling off a near-flawless stretch that the Frenchman had no answer for. The world No. 6 is into his 21st career final and his second of 2026, having already lifted the Rotterdam trophy earlier in the year. A win Sunday would make him a two-time champion here.
A fairytale on the other side. Kamil Majchrzak has authored the story of the week. The 30-year-old Pole, ranked No. 76, reached his maiden tour-level final by stunning former world No. 1 Daniil Medvedev 7-6(4), 6-1, a result that followed his earlier upset of top seed Felix Auger-Aliassime. Majchrzak is just the sixth Polish man to reach a tour-level final in the Open Era. He has already climbed to a projected No. 53 in the live rankings and would crack the top 50 for the first time with the title.
The matchup. De Minaur leads the head-to-head 2-0, though the pair have never met on grass, and the Australian’s clean returning and relentless court coverage make him a heavy favorite. But Majchrzak has spent the week dismantling better-credentialed opponents, and a maiden final tends to loosen the arm. De Minaur will start as the favorite; Majchrzak has already proved he doesn’t read the form guide.
