Entering the match, Sinner still showed his experience and bravery when he defeated Bublik in the first set with a score of 6-3. It seemed like this would be an easy victory for the Italian player, but Bublik's resilience surprised everyone.

In game 2, the turning point happened in game 6 when Bublik successfully broke Sinner's serve, taking a 4-2 lead. And then Bublik won this game with a score of 6-3.

In the decisive third game, Bublik continued to maintain a stalemate against the world's number 1 player. Bublik's perseverance was finally rewarded when he brilliantly broke the 7th game.

This crucial break created the premise for Bublik to take the lead and close the match with a convincing score of 6-4.

In this match, Bublik showed an explosive and unpredictable style of play. He continuously launched thunderous serves. Among them were 15 extremely powerful aces, causing Sinner a lot of trouble.

Not only stopping at aces, Bublik also scored 36 winners with tricky shots, making it impossible for Sinner to find his usual rhythm. Although Sinner tried to fight back, before Bublik's top performance, he had to accept defeat.

This was a historic victory for Bublik, as it was the fourth time in his career that he had defeated a player in the world's top 10. However, what made this match special was that Bublik became the first person in nearly a year who was not Carlos Alcaraz to defeat Jannik Sinner.

Since Roland Garros 2024, Sinner has had an impressive streak of domination against all opponents. And only Alcaraz has been able to neutralize him. This further demonstrates Sinner's class and consistent form. But Bublik has proven that every record can be broken.

This incredible victory is not only a memorable milestone in Alexander Bublik's career but also breathes new life into the Halle Open 2025. Fans are eagerly awaiting the next developments of the tournament after the proud achievement of the Kazakh player.
