Alexander Bublik delivered a masterclass in power and flair to defeat Daniil Medvedev 6-3, 7-6(4) and clinch the Terra Wortmann Open title for a second time.
With this impressive victory, Bublik becomes only the third player in the 32-year history of the tournament to win multiple Halle crowns, alongside tennis greats Yevgeny Kafelnikov and Roger Federer.
The 27-year-old Kazakhstani brought his signature unorthodox brilliance to the fore, smashing 36 winners across the court, blending booming serves with deft drop shots and baseline aggression. This marks Bublik’s first win against Medvedev in seven head-to-head clashes—an achievement that underscores his recent surge in form.
Coming off his maiden Grand Slam quarter-final appearance at Roland Garros, Bublik stunned top seed and reigning World No. 1 Jannik Sinner in the second round, signalling his intent from the outset. His triumphant run in Halle adds weight to his claim as a growing threat on the ATP Tour, especially on faster surfaces.
Speaking after the match, Bublik reflected on the significance of the victory. “To win this title again, especially against an opponent like Daniil, means a lot. I’ve worked hard, and this moment is special,” he shared during the trophy ceremony.
Bublik’s second Halle triumph not only boosts his confidence ahead of Wimbledon but also cements his status as one of the most unpredictable and exciting players on the men’s circuit.
