Alexander Bublik secured victory in the final of the 2025 Hangzhou Open.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Travelling to China as the number-three seed, Bublik<\/a> dropped just one set en route to the final.<\/p>\n

There, he met qualifier Valentin Royer, who had already beaten three seeds in Hangzhou: Andrey Rublev<\/a> (1), Learner Tien (7), and Corentin Moutet (4).<\/p>\n

Unable to pick up a fourth win over a seeded player, Royer fell to Bublik, 7-6, 7-6, in the Hangzhou Open final.<\/p>\n

In doing so, Bublik took another step towards ATP Finals<\/a> qualification\u2026<\/p>\n

Alexander Bublik is now three places away from a spot in the ATP Finals<\/p>\n

Every year, the eight players who accumulate the most points in a calendar year qualify for the ATP Finals.<\/p>\n

Bublik has never been to the tour finals before, but is in with a good chance of making his debut at the event in 2025.<\/p>\n\nRank<\/strong><\/td>\nName<\/strong><\/td>\nCountry<\/strong><\/td>\nPoints<\/strong><\/td>\nStatus<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n1<\/td>\nCarlos Alcaraz<\/td>\nSpain<\/td>\n10,540<\/td>\nQualified<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n2<\/td>\nJannik Sinner<\/td>\nItaly<\/td>\n7,950<\/td>\nQualified<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n3<\/td>\nNovak Djokovic<\/td>\nSerbia<\/td>\n4,180<\/td>\nCurrently qualifying<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n4<\/td>\nAlexander Zverev<\/td>\nGermany<\/td>\n4,180<\/td>\nCurrently qualifying<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n5<\/td>\nBen Shelton<\/td>\nUSA<\/td>\n3,710<\/td>\nCurrently qualifying<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n6<\/td>\nTaylor Fritz<\/td>\nUSA<\/td>\n3,465<\/td>\nCurrently qualifying<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n7<\/td>\nLorenzo Musetti<\/td>\nItaly<\/td>\n3,235<\/td>\nCurrently qualifying<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n8<\/td>\nAlex de Minaur<\/td>\nAustralia<\/td>\n3,145<\/td>\nCurrently qualifying<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n9<\/td>\nJack Draper<\/td>\nGreat Britain<\/td>\n2,990<\/td>\nInjured (Won\u2019t play again in 2025)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n10<\/td>\nFelix Auger-Aliassime<\/td>\nCanada<\/td>\n2,705<\/td>\nNot currently qualifying<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n11<\/td>\nAndrey Rublev<\/td>\nRussia<\/td>\n2,410<\/td>\nNot currently qualifying<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n12<\/td>\nAlexander Bublik<\/td>\nKazakhstan<\/td>\n2,370<\/td>\nNot currently qualifying<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n13<\/td>\nCasper Ruud<\/td>\nNorway<\/td>\n2,285<\/td>\nNot currently qualifying<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n14<\/td>\nKaren Khachanov<\/td>\nRussia<\/td>\n2,210<\/td>\nNot currently qualifying<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n15<\/td>\nHolger Rune<\/td>\nDenmark<\/td>\n2,190<\/td>\nNot currently qualifying<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Top 15 players in the Live ATP Race to Turin<\/p>\n

The Kazakh sits 12th, four places and 775 points out of the qualification spots, although the reality is he may be a lot closer than it looks.<\/p>\n

With Jack Draper ending his season early due to injury<\/a>, Bublik is actually just three places out from qualification.<\/p>\n

In addition to Draper\u2019s omission, there is a real chance Novak Djokovic<\/a> chooses to skip the year-end finals, just as he did in 2024.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, there could just be two players standing between Bublik and a place in the ATP Finals.<\/p>\n

If the 28-year-old can continue to perform as well as he has so far in 2025, there\u2019s no reason why he can\u2019t make the trip to Turin in November.<\/p>\n

ATP players with multiple title wins in 2025<\/p>\n

Only one player in men\u2019s tennis has won more titles than Bublik in 2025, and he just so happens to be the world number one, Carlos Alcaraz<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With four titles, Bublik slots in just behind the Spaniard in the list of multiple-time champions this season.<\/p>\n\nRank<\/strong><\/td>\nName<\/strong><\/td>\nNumber of titles<\/strong><\/td>\nTitles<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n1<\/td>\nCarlos Alcaraz<\/td>\n7<\/td>\nFrench Open, US Open, Monte-Carlo Masters, Italian Open, Cincinnati Open, Rotterdam Open, Queen\u2019s Club Championships<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n2<\/td>\nAlexander Bublik<\/td>\n4<\/td>\nHalle Open, Swiss Open, Kitzbuhel Open, Hangzhou Open<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n3<\/td>\nLuciano Darderi<\/td>\n3<\/td>\nGrand Prix Hassan II, Swedish Open, Croatia Open<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nT-4<\/td>\nJannik Sinner<\/td>\n2<\/td>\nAustralian Open, Wimbledon<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nT-4<\/td>\nFlavio Cobolli<\/td>\n2<\/td>\nHamburg Open, Tiriac Open<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nT-4<\/td>\nDenis Shapovalov<\/td>\n2<\/td>\nDallas Open, Los Cabos Open<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nT-4<\/td>\nTaylor Fritz<\/td>\n2<\/td>\nStuttgart Open, Eastbourne International<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nT-4<\/td>\nFelix Auger-Aliassime<\/td>\n2<\/td>\nAdelaide International, Open Occitanie<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Following his win in Hangzhou, Bublik will need to recover quickly before he makes the trip to Beijing for the China Open<\/a> ATP 500 event.<\/p>\n

Searching for title number five of 2025, Bublik will play a qualifier in the first round.<\/p>\n

He is also entered into the doubles competition alongside Lorenzo Musetti, with the pair set to play the French duo of Sadio Doumbia and Fabien Reboul on Thursday, September 25.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alexander Bublik secured victory in the final of the 2025 Hangzhou Open.
