2025 Halle ATP500 Final - D. Medvedev [3] vs A. Bublik

[Hitman]

WOW!!!!

4-1 Med

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

Amazing level from Med

 

[Hitman]

Bad miss! 4-4

 

[Kralingen]

It’s all over. It’s all over.

Medvedev is back and Tyrese Haliburton will win Finals MVP.

 

[Hitman]

5-4 Bublik with break!

 

[Hood_Man]

Well that's a turnaround, 5-4 Bublik with a mini break.

 

[Hitman]

He won!!!!!

 

[mightyjeditribble]

Wow, I did not see this coming. Two errors from Medvedev on serve and he goes from mini-break up to mini-break down. Two serve points for Bublik - win them both and he wins the match.

 

[Hood_Man]

Now match match point Bublik!

 

[Hitman]

Incredible!!!!

 

[ibbi]

4-1 down in the breaker and wins it anyway. Wow. Hope he doesn't get knocked out of Wimbledon in round 1.

 

[Hood_Man]

Bublik wins!

 

[mightyjeditribble]

What a performance. What a match, what a tournament for Bublik. Amazing!

 

[Cage Rattler]

Crowd was behind him the whole way...

 

[ojo rojo]

Yay! Bubs!

 

[NoleFam]

Bublik is really something else on grass when he's on. I don't know how he hasn't done more damage at Wimbledon besides that one 4th round. Well done this week. I don't think any of the top guys want him in their draw. Good to see Medvedev back playing well again also.

 

[junior74]

Congrats, Bubbly!
Super for tennis!

 

[Hitman]

Honestly Bublik earned this title, he beat some players this week.

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

Bublik Wimbledon Champion please make it happen !!! What a talent

 

[Kralingen]

Wait he actually won LOL. Med choke?

 

[Hitman]

Wait he actually won LOL. Med choke?

Did you watch?

 

[Larry Duff]

Well done Booby.

 

[Sudacafan]

I got tickets in the front wagon of the Bublik train.

 

[Kralingen]

Did you watch?

I was but then I rage quit when he went down 4-1

 

[Hitman]

I was but then I rage quit when he went down 4-1

Too good in the end.

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

Wait he actually won LOL. Med choke?

Two unusual BH errors from Med but good from Bubs to return and make him play. Hard to say Med choked overall given how well he served all set but he blinked here in the TB.

 

[mightyjeditribble]

LOL@ Medvedev saying he hopes that Bublik takes out Carlos or Jannik early at Wimbledon.

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

One of the very best finals ive seen all year. Almost immaculate serving from both. Med was solid but Bublik came up with some magic.

 

[ibbi]

I was but then I rage quit when he went down 4-1

Unreturnable - 4-2
Unreturnable - 4-3
Great return and Meddy nets it - 4-4
Long rally, Meddy tries to change direction and puts a BHDTL wide - 4-5
Big second serve and volley winner - 4-6
Unreturnable - 4-7

 

[Hitman]

Bublik is going for Federer's 19 Halle titles.

 

[Cage Rattler]

Crazy scenes .. champagne

 

[Vincent-C]

Bubs took Meddy out in straights, did he?

cool

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Bublik been in great form for a few weeks. Congrats to him and no one will want him early at Wimbledon.

 

[abmk]

Good on Bublik for smashing Pushvedev and taking the title.

 

[Mainad]

In winning 2025 Halle, Bublik has:

1. Won his 1st title of the season, 5th overall and 2nd at 500 level.
2. Become the only active player to win multiple titles at Halle.
3. Become only the 2nd Russian-born player to win multiple titles at Halle (after Kafelnikov).

In reaching the final of 2025 Halle, Medvedev becomes 1 of 4 Russian players to make multiple finals there (along with Kafelnikov, Rublev and Bublik).

 

[Mainad]

Bubs took Meddy out in straights, did he?

cool

Yup, he did.

 

[Tennfan123]

I wish I was a gambler because this had bubs in straights all over it.

 

[Djokovic2011]

What a day it's been for @Kralingen with Medvedev losing and Alcaraz winning. Perfect finish to the weekend for him.

In reaching the final of 2025 Halle, Medvedev becomes the 3rd Russian player to make multiple finals there (after Kafelnikov and Bublik).

Bublik plays for Kazakhstan.

Edit: I realise in 3. you are careful to say "Russian-born". And I do realise that Bublik was Russian before he was recruited to play for Kazakhstan; he used to live in Russia and low lives in Kazakhstan. Still, in the end I feel we should go by the country the player represents. I mean, Bublik received hardly any support from Russia, which played a part in his decision to represent Kazakhstan. So I think for the purposes of tennis he is Kazakhstani. And Medvedev is the second Russian player to make multiple finals in Halle.

 

[Succession]

Brilliant tournament from Bublik, truly great stuff and a great guy!

Yah man, you sum up my take. Have liked the dude for some time, and enjoy his madcap approach. But his recent 'eureka' moments / focus has been most impressive. He was my dude for the title, glad he got it done. Medvedev made a match of it in the 2nd - pity he could not take it to a a decider. Good to see him playing well again.
It'll be interesting to see how AB does at Wimbledon - who'll get the short straw?

 

[-NN-]

How does a being hit a tennis ball this hard?

Bublik is living proof that tennis is constantly evolving.

Unreal savagery at times.

 

[Mark Anderson]

Well, I missed this one. I thought the smart funny Russian would win. I guess family life has made him docile. Maybe the Swiss boy was right.

 

[Mainad]

Doubles success all round for the home favourites at Halle and Queen's!!

At Halle, Krawietz and Puetz beat the Italians Bolelli and Vavassori in straights.

At Queen's, Cash and Glasspool beat the Croatian-New Zealand pair Mektic and Venus in 3.

 

[ibbi]

4-1 down in the breaker and wins it anyway. Wow. Hope he doesn't get knocked out of Wimbledon in round 1.

LOL
