Bublik Nears Another ATP Title in Montpellier

Alexander Bublik, having fought back from a set down for the fourth time in five days, is on the verge of winning another title in Montpellier. He could be the first player to win an ATP event after losing the first set in every match if he emerges victorious against either Holger Rune or Borna Coric in the final. Bublik, the second seed, had previously defeated Felix Auger-Aliassime in the semifinal and is already guaranteed a career-high ranking of 23rd. Fellow Kazakhstani Yulia Putintseva won the WTA event in the same city.
