Majchrzak, 29, is currently ranked 109th in the world after returning from a 13-month suspension imposed in 2022, when anti-doping authorities ruled he had ingested banned substances unintentionally. Despite losing all his ranking points, he has rebuilt his standing since early 2024.
The Pole has impressed this week in London, notably defeating Italy’s Matteo Berrettini, seeded No. 32, in a five-set battle. His opponent, Rinderknech - ranked 72nd - produced an even bigger upset by eliminating world No. 3 Alexander Zverev.
