Bublik Wins First ATP Clay Title at Gstaad

Kazakhstan's Alexander Bublik won his first career clay-court title at the 2025 Swiss Open Gstaad, defeating Argentina's Juan Manuel Cerundolo 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 in the final. This marks Bublik's second ATP title of the season and the sixth of his career, following his earlier grass-court win in Halle. Bublik overcame a challenging match, describing it as among the toughest he has played, despite having previously faced some of tennis's top players. His victory follows an early exit at Wimbledon and continues a strong run that includes a recent Roland Garros quarterfinal. Cerundolo reached his first final since 2021, notably defeating top seed Casper Ruud along the way. As a result, Bublik is set to return to the ATP top 30 in the latest rankings.
