Alexander Bublik (Rank: 131; Age 20): Off the court, Bublik conducted one of the funniest interviews of the 2017 season. The 6'6” right-hander posed some playful questions to some of the game's best, including Andy Murray and Roger Federer

Peugeot Slovak Open (Bratislava, Slovakia): Alexander Bublik will be the first to admit that his 2018 campaign has not gone according to plan. A surging #NextGenATP star who kicked off his season just outside the Top 100 of the ATP Rankings, Bublik was on the verge of a big breakthrough. But after a broken ankle suffered at the BNP Paribas Open stopped him in his tracks, the Kazakh was reeling, falling as low as No. 253.

The 21-year-old entered his final tournament of the year in Bratislava, searching for confidence heading into the offseason. Safe to say he found that and then some. Bublik won eight matches in nine days as a qualifier, clinching his first ATP Challenger Tour title in 15 months. He capped the resurgent week with 10 sets won in a row, culminating in a 6-4, 6-4 win over Lukas Rosol in Sunday's final.

"I'm happy I managed to win today," said Bublik. "It's my first tournament victory since last August. Overall, in my entire career it's the first tournament I've ever won as a qualifier. I have a great feeling to end the season with this title. I like Bratislava and I believe I will come back next year."

Bublik improved to 3-0 in Challenger finals, adding to victories in Morelos, Mexico and Aptos, USA last year. He rises 83 spots to No. 170 in the ATP Rankings.

Hungarian Challenger Open (Budapest, Hungary): Alexander Bublik was a man on a mission in Budapest. The Kazakh extended his perfect record in ATP Challenger Tour finals to 4-0, scoring his first title of the year with an efficient 6-0, 6-3 victory over Roberto Marcora on Sunday.

A former World No. 95, Bublik has clawed his way back to No. 144 in the ATP Rankings after suffering a broken ankle nearly a year ago at the BNP Paribas Open. He has now captured two titles in the past three months, soaring more than 100 spots in that span.

The 21-year-old rallied from a set down in both the second round and quarter-finals, before dropping a combined six games in the semis and final. Bublik is now 14-2 on the ATP Challenger Tour since the start of November.

Abierto GNP Seguros (Monterrey, Mexico): Alexander Bublik and Emilio Gomez took centre stage at Club Sonoma in Monterrey on Sunday night, with the 21-year-old Kazakh taking the title 6-3, 6-2. Bublik claimed a tour-leading third title of the year, which secured his return to the Top 100 of the ATP Rankings at No. 99. One year ago, the Kazakh suffered a broken ankle at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, but an 18-5 record has seen him rediscover his form in a hurry in 2019.

Moreover, Bublik extends his perfect run in Challenger finals to 6-0. He has won a title in each of the past three months, also prevailing in Budapest in February and Pau, France in March.
