French Open: Bublik Stuns De Minaur With Thrilling Five-set Comeback; Rocha Upsets Mensik
Alex De Minaur: Alexander Bublik produced one of the most remarkable comebacks of Roland-Garros 2025 so far, overturning a two-set deficit to defeat No. 9 seed Alex De Minaur 2-6, 2-6, 6-4, 6-3, 6-2 and book his place in the third round on Thursday.
For much of the opening hour, it seemed like De Minaur was in complete control. The Australian looked sharp and full of energy under the clear Paris skies, racing through the first two sets with his trademark speed and discipline. Bublik, known for his unorthodox style, appeared frustrated and flat, offering little resistance as the world No. 9 dictated play from the baseline.
But the match shifted suddenly and dramatically in the third set. With nothing to lose, Bublik began to loosen up. His risky shot selection started to pay off — drop shots, booming serves, and angled winners began finding their mark. The Kazakh broke De Minaur’s rhythm with a mix of flair and fearlessness, clinching the third set 6-4 to signal a turning point.
