Alexander Bublik and Valentin Royer Set for Hangzhou Open Final
Third seed Alexander Bublik cruised past Chinese home favorite Wu Yibing 6-3, 6-3 in the semifinals, firing 19 aces and showcasing his impressive form. This win marks Bublik's 15th career final and fourth this season. Notably, he joins an elite group of players, including Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, and Alexander Zverev, who have reached finals on all three surfaces - clay, grass, and hard courts - in the same season.




Bublik's victory over Wu Yibing was convincing, with 28 winners and only six unforced errors in just 61 minutes. He didn't face a single break point, highlighting his strong service game. This performance sets him up well for the final against Valentin Royer, who pulled off an upset against fourth seed Corentin Moutet 6-3, 6-2.


Valentin Royer, ranked 88th, has been making waves in the tournament. The French qualifier saved both break points against Moutet and dominated the match. Royer's impressive run includes a win over top seed Andrey Rublev in the earlier rounds, marking his first victory over a Top 20 player. This final will be Royer's first tour-level title match.


Given Bublik's current form and head-to-head record, he is the favorite to win the title. However, Royer's recent performances suggest he could pose a significant challenge.
