Bublik impresses again: 6th quarter-final of the season after a crazy battle in Hangzhou
In the second round of the Hangzhou tournament, Bublik approached his match with four titles in his record this season. Facing Vukic, the Kazakh triumphed, achieving his sixth quarter-final qualification on the main circuit this season.
After Montpellier, Roland-Garros, Halle, Gstaad, and Kitzbühel, it's the turn of the ATP 250 in Hangzhou to witness the presence of the 28-year-old player in the quarter-final of its tournament.
However, the match was not a walk in the park for Bublik, who had to work hard to overcome the world No. 93 (6-7, 6-4, 6-4) in 2h13 of play. Following this success, he now awaits the winner of the Svrcina-Zhang match to know his opponent for a place in the semi-finals.
