Medvedev told the new champion: “First time in an ATP final and you destroy the world number two.” Van Rijthoven fell in the qualifying rounds of this year’s first two majors, but he is the only one of Sunday’s singles finalists in ‘s-Hertogenbosch eligible to play at Wimbledon. Medvedev and the two women’s finalists, Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka and Russian Ekaterina Sabalenka, are banned from the grass-court major following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Earlier in the day, world number 30 Alexandrova sprung a surprise by beating top seed Sabalenka 7-5, 6-0. It is only the Russian’s second career title following her win in Shenzhen in 2020. Sabalenka, ranked sixth in the world and a Wimbledon semi-finalist last year, led 5-4 in the first set before her game imploded. The Belarusian conceded nine games in a row, coughing up 31 unforced errors. Alexandrova, 27, closed out the match with her best weapon, two service winners and an ace.
