It was clear that in the showdown between Alexander Bublik and Corentin Moutet, the spiciest duel of the day, sparks were going to fly. The Frenchman heated up the match by stating that the stands would be a cauldron and that he would send the Kazakh home. However, Bublik was the one who clinched the victory (6-3, 7-5) and didn't hesitate to send him a message in the on-court interview: "Obviously, he talked too much before the match. He talked too much. I had no other option but to punish him." Additionally, he was asked about his signature to the camera, where he wrote 'on the way home': "He said he would do everything possible to send me home. So, it's good that he lives in Paris and is not far away by taxi."
