Alex de Minaur's bid for a confidence-boosting title grab building towards of his looming Wimbledon campaign ended in heartbreak after slumping to Kamil Majchrzak in the final of the ATP's Dutch grass-court event.
The Australian No.1 had opted to use the tournament in s-Hertogenbosch to rebuild his shattered confidence after his French Open setback when bowing to out Jakub Mensik in the third round last month.
But despite staging a gritty fightback to draw level with Majchrzak in the climax to the Rosmalen Championships on Sunday, De Minaur eventually lost out in a final-set tie-break to succumb 6-3, 2-6, 7-6 (7-5).
