Alexander Bublik won his third title of 2025 and a second in the space of six days after proving too strong for Frenchman Arthur Cazaux in the Kitzbuhel showpiece on Saturday.

Coming into the contest on the back of 16 wins from his last 18 matches on Tour, Bublik produced another assured display on the Austrian clay, beating Cazaux 6-4, 6-3 in just 86 minutes.

The 28-year-old won 84% of points behind his first serve, overpowering his opponent with 26 winners across the two sets.

It continues a remarkable resurgence for Bublik, who has already claimed silverware in Halle and Gstaad this summer, as well as reaching the last eight at Roland Garros.

"I can't believe I did it as it was probably one of the toughest weeks in my life because coming from Gstaad, playing here, different conditions and raining," Bublik said in his on-court interview.

"I am pleased I got through and thank you for supporting me throughout the tournament."
