Alexander Bublik brought flair and firepower to the clay courts of Gstaad on Sunday, as he captured the EFG Swiss Open Gstaad title with a 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 win over Juan Manuel Cerundolo. In a match full of variety and tactical shifts, Bublik once again proved he is one of the most unpredictable and entertaining players on the ATP Tour.
Early in the first set, the Kazakhstani star stunned fans with a cheeky underarm serve, one of his trademark tricks. The unexpected move caught Cerundolo off guard and drew gasps and applause from the crowd, adding a touch of drama and levity to the high-stakes final. While Bublik has used the underarm serve before, deploying it in a final underscored his fearless and unorthodox style.
The victory marks a significant clay-court milestone for the second seed, who has found a strong rhythm during his 2025 European summer campaign. Known more for his success on faster surfaces, Bublik showed maturity and adaptability throughout the tournament, especially in the decisive third set, where he overwhelmed Cerundolo with powerful serving and clever shot-making.
This win adds to Bublik’s growing list of ATP titles and highlights his evolution into a more complete and confident player. With his mix of theatrics and top-tier tennis, the Gstaad triumph not only solidifies his clay-court credentials but also keeps him firmly on the radar as one of the tour’s most entertaining and dangerous contenders.
'There Is No Formula 1 Race...': Jannik Sinner Hilariously Teases Brother During Trophy Ceremony At Wimbledon 2025; Video
Jannik Sinner won his first Wimbledon title on Sunday by defeating Carlos Alcaraz in an exciting four-set final: 4–6, 6–4, 6–4, 6–4. It was a big moment for the 23-year-old Italian, who got his revenge after losing to Alcaraz in the French Open final just weeks ago.
The Centre Court crowd included many famous guests, and after the match, Sinner received his trophy from the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton. But it wasn’t just his win that got people talking, it was his light-hearted joke about his brother during the trophy ceremony.
“Actually, a special thanks to my brother because there is no Formula 1 race this weekend, that’s why he’s here,” Sinner said, making the crowd laugh. This was a fun reference to an earlier moment in June, when his brother chose to watch Formula 1 instead of attending Sinner’s final at the French Open.
With this victory, Sinner became the first Italian man to win Wimbledon. Sinner’s win was not just a historic moment, but also a reminder that champions can be both fierce competitors and fun-loving family members.
