Tim Van Rijthoven completed a dream week at the Libema Open in ‘s-Hertogenbosch on Sunday as the World No. 205 raced to a 6-4, 6-1 victory over Daniil Medvedev to clinch a maiden ATP Tour title.
The Dutch wild card was playing in a maiden championship match on just his second appearance in a tour-level main draw, but he showed no sign of nerves in front of an ecstatic home crowd on his way to a 65-minute victory over a player who will reclaim the No. 1 spot in the Pepperstone ATP Rankings on Monday.
Van Rijthoven earlier moved past Matthew Ebden, Taylor Fritz, Hugo Gaston and Felix Auger-Aliassime to reach the championship match in just his second tour-level main draw appearance. He is the first Dutchman to win the title in ‘s-Hertogenbosch since Sjeng Schalken in 2003.
