Bublik sprinkles magic on grass to sink Sinner in Halle

Alexander Bublik has built on his shock Roland Garros run, sprinkling some of that clay-court magic on the grass courts of Halle as he earned the biggest win of his career over world No.1 Jannik Sinner at the pre-Wimbledon German tournament.

The enigmatic but immensely talented Kazakh Bublik, who reached the quarter-finals of the French Open before being beaten by Sinner, gained his revenge with a 3-6 6-3 6-4 triumph to reach the quarter-finals.
