World No. 205 Tim van Rijthoven beats top-seeded Medvedev for 1st ATP title

Dutch wild card Tim van Rijthoven claimed his first ATP Tour title with a 6-4, 6-1 victory Sunday against No. 1 seed Daniil Medvedev of Russia at the Libema Open in 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands.

Ranked No. 205 in the world, van Rijthoven needed just 65 minutes to become the lowest-ranked champion this season on the ATP Tour. He was competing in just his second tournament.
