Alexander Bublik’s impressive run at the French Open is over.
The Russia-born tennis player from Kazakhstan was routed by top-ranked Jannick Sinner of Italy in the quarterfinals at Roland Garros on Wednesday.
Sinner easily defeated Bublik 6-1, 7-5, 6-0, ending the match with a serve down the middle and then a crosscourt forehand winner. Still, Bublik smiled as he walked up to the net to shake hands and exchanged a few warm words with Sinner.
Bublik’s run to the quarterfinals was his best performance in a major tournament despite his past declarations that he detested playing on clay.
