Kamil Majchrzak was forced to go the hard way, but he did so in style to claim his first ATP Tour title on Sunday at the Libema Open in ‘s-Hertogenbosch.
With wins over Felix Auger-Aliassime, Daniil Medvedev and Alex de Minaur en route to the grass-court trophy, Majchrzak became just the second man — after Grigor Dimitrov — to earn three Top-10 victories en route to an ATP 250 title since the series began in 2009. The 30-year-old Pole is up 29 spots to No. 47 in the PIF ATP Live Rankings.
ATPTour.com caught up with Majchrzak to discuss his title run and more…
What does it mean to win your first ATP Tour title?
This is an incredible, unbelievable and emotional feeling for me. I am living my dream. I put the hard work from the very early ages — me, my parents, my team — to get here after some difficult times, after some better times. It's just unbelievable to go through these emotions, to live through these emotions, to even compete at that level and to win an ATP title. That's the ultimate goal for a tennis player. Now I've accomplished it. Now I have to set myself a new goal.
Who are some of the people you would like to dedicate this trophy to?
I would definitely dedicate it to my wife, who's standing by me and who also created me as a person and as a tennis player. She was always there for me with the difficult times and good times. Also to my family, my parents, my brother, they are all super special to me and we have a great relationship. This is the work I've mentioned before. This is just so emotional for us and also my team, my coaches, everybody who made it possible, who made me push every day to the limits of court, to then try to do the same on court.
You are set to break into the Top 50 for the first time. What does this milestone mean to you?
This was my goal for many years now and I was already close in March this year, then it slipped away and I got injured. So I was like, ‘Oh my God, I hope this was not my last shot and last chance to do it’. This was my goal for a really long time. I really believe I have the game to get there and to go higher. So I'm really glad I did it this week and did a lot of things at the same time at once. This is a big milestone for me and now I have to set my new goals.
You reached the fourth round at Wimbledon last year before winning your first ATP title on grass. What do you love most about the surface?
I really enjoy playing on grass because it's a different type of tennis. I'm moving well and the grass supports my shots a lot, so I know how to use them on grass. I really believe in my game on grass, so I think it’s a combination of self belief and nice shot selection, but also to be brave in big moments. It's probably the combination of all of it, but for me grass comes naturally like most of the Polish players for some reason.
How will you be celebrating this title?
I didn't even have time to breathe. I will definitely have a nice dinner with my coach and we are going to talk a lot, laugh and celebrate. But from tomorrow, I already have to move on for the next one because the Tour doesn't stop. But today I will definitely celebrate it with a very nice dinner in a nice atmosphere.
You have said that Novak Djokovic is his idol. What makes him special to you?
He's one of the greatest tennis players in the world. His mental approach, how he can turn the matches around, including our match [in Indian Wells in March], is just different levels. I was always trying to make myself stronger by watching him and analysing him.
