The Kazakh will enter the Top-10 for the first time in his career this Monday after clinching his 5th title in the last eight months in Hong Kong.
Alexander Bublik
Alexander Bublik continues to break molds and demonstrate that his commitment to tennis is total. No one would have imagined a year ago that the Kazakh would find the maturity and consistency necessary to break into the top-10 of the ATP rankings, a success he has confirmed with his title at the ATP 250 Hong Kong 2026. He defeated Lorenzo Musetti with a score of 7-6 (2) 6-3, thus securing the ninth title of his professional career.

Alexander Bublik continues on a high. The change of season has not dampened the spirits and inspiration of the Kazakh, who is getting closer to breaking through barriers that seemed impossible just a year ago. After defeating Jerry Shang in the quarterfinals of the 2026 ATP Hong Kong with a score of 6-1 and 7-6(2), Alexander is just two wins away from entering the ATP top 10 for the first time in his career, a clear sign of his evolution and newfound consistency. In the semifinals, he will face Marcos Giron, the penultimate challenge after Michael Mmoh retired (6-3, 1-0, and retirement); at the top of the draw, we will witness a showdown between Lorenzo Musetti (who defeated Coleman Wong with double 6-4) and Andrey Rublev (who overcame Nuno Borges with 6-3 and 6-4). Great tournament.

Alexander Bublik has explored his limits and surpassed all expectations placed on him by becoming a member of the top-10 of the ATP ranking. The Kazakh breaks into this exclusive club for the first time at the age of 28 years, 6 months, and 26 days, making him the second oldest active player to achieve this. The first is Roberto Bautista, who did it at over 31 years old.
Never too late!

At 28Y6M, #Bublik will become one of the oldest active players to make a Top10 debut! #Alcaraz was the youngest at just 18. #Rune & #Djokovic were also teenagers. #Zverev #Sinner & #Tsitsipas were 20, while most NextGens were 23, 24.
The oldest? #Bautista at 31! pic.twitter.com/n8inojYFSQ

Alexander Bublik continues to amaze with his tennis at the beginning of this year, following a very convincing 2025. The Kazakh aims to break into the Top 10 and is well on track after reaching the final of ATP Hong Kong 2026 by coming back to defeat Marcos Giron 3-6, 6-4, 6-2, after an hour and 42 minutes of play. This sets up a showdown between Bublik and Lorenzo Musetti for the title, and if he manages to beat the Italian, he will enter the list of the world's top ten tennis players for the first time.

Alexander Bublik has a clear goal in mind: to reach the top-10 for the first time in his career. It seemed unthinkable a year and a half ago, but the Kazakh shows the consistency we have long asked for, and that change in mentality is paying off. At the ATP Hong Kong 2026, his first event of the year, he has the opportunity to enter that exclusive club on his own terms: if he clinches the title, he will step into the top ten in the world. The start, undoubtedly, is promising: a comfortable victory over Botic van de Zandschulp (6-3, 6-3) displaying a level identical to that of the previous season. It doesn’t seem like the New Year is bringing back an inconsistent version of the Kazakh... making him a real threat in future matches.
Other results of the day (round of 16 matches):
- Marcos Giron d. Alexandre Muller (7) 6-4, 7-6(4)
- Jerry Shang (WC) d. Lorenzo Sonego (5) 6-3, 6-4

We analyze which tennis players have the best chances of breaking into the top 10 of the ATP ranking in 2026, without having experienced that sensation before.
Bublik shows his discontent with the balls of the Australian Open: this is how quickly they wear out
There are still a few weeks left before the Australian Open begins, and the first controversy is already known: the rapid wear of the balls. This was confirmed by Alexander Bublik through a post on his social media showing the wear of the balls: "High-quality balls from a Grand Slam tournament. After five minutes of practicing the slice," lamented the world number eleven.
