Seeded number 8 at the ATP 500 in Beijing, the Kazakh once again missed out, losing to Flavio Cobolli, ranked 32nd in the world at the age of 22 (4-6, 6-1, 7-6).
Despite getting off to a good start, Bublik collapsed in the second set before losing out on the important points in the final game.
At his wits' end, he once again smashed his racket on the floor (see video below). Sensitive souls will surely prefer to abstain.
