Auger-Aliassime Bublik Dubaï

There's rarely a dull moment when Alexander Bublik is playing. His first-round tie-break against Felix Auger-Aliassime in Dubai is a case in point.

While he was in a good position in the exchange at 6-6 in the tie-break, the point had to be replayed when a ball boy got in the way of Bublik's smash.

Bublik then hit an ace, but it was called let. He followed up with a spoon serve, totally out of reach of the Canadian, which gave the Kazakh a set point.

Auger-Aliassime then clawed his way back into the match and had set point. This was won on a double fault by Bublik, celebrated by the Canadian.
