Bublik Beats Musetti to Win Hong Kong Open Title
Bublik claimed his ninth ATP Tour title and achieved his season goal of breaking into the ATP top 10 by defeating Musetti in the Hong Kong Open final.
- Alexander Bublik captured the Hong Kong Open title on Jan 11, defeating Lorenzo Musetti 7-6 and entering the ATP top 10 for the first time.
- After a breakthrough last year that produced four titles, Alexander Bublik carried confidence into Hong Kong, having won Halle, Gstaad, Kitzbuhel and Hangzhou and reached his first major quarter-final at Roland Garros.
- At the net, Alexander Bublik seized the first-set tie-break with dominant volleys and then used improved drop shots and baseline defence as Lorenzo Musetti required treatment on his right arm.
- Musetti's runner-up finish still lifts him into a career-high top five on Monday, despite the loss, extending his run of 7 final losses since Naples 2022.
- The victory arrives just before the season's first Grand Slam at Melbourne Park next Sunday, and Bublik said `I have no words` after the 98 minutes match.
