Bublik defeats Medvedev and wins Halle tournament for the second time

Alexander Bublik was coming off an excellent quarterfinal at Roland-Garros and was expected to confirm his strong form in Halle.

Facing Daniil Medvedev in the final this Sunday, the Kazakh had the chance to lift the trophy in Halle for the second time, the first being in 2023.

Mission accomplished for Bublik, who wins 6-3, 7-6. Focused throughout the match, he defeats a Medvedev who hasn’t won a title since Rome in 2023—over two years ago.

In the rankings, Bublik will rise to world No. 30 this Monday and will therefore be seeded at Wimbledon, while Medvedev returns to the Top 10, landing at No. 9.
