Respect to Bublik to show up for one set, but he needed to call it quits sadly. Medvedev advances to the final and will play against Basilashvili for a chance to take a second Almaty title.

Bad news for Kazakhstan! (Meddy was infamous for only ever winning a title once. He finally broke that streak by winning Dubai 500 for the second time earlier this year—and Dubai immediately got bombed amid the war in Iran)

Not just Kazakhstan - the global economy is in big danger.

Tennis gods are punishing us for making “these mfers reunite every two days” memes about sincaraz last year. Now they won’t let us have any anticipated match ups 😩

Well that's anticlimactic.

6. u/pizzainmyshoe · 2026-10-24 13:48 UTC

One win to go for Medvedev to finally defend a title

7. u/dangerousarmyvehicle · 2026-10-24 14:20 UTC

Basilashvili in two

With stefanil off the table, i was hoping that bubledev was gonna deliver…guess not 😩

9. u/WolfTitan99 · 2026-10-24 14:03 UTC

Same, and we dont even get Stefaniil 😭

Bublik did pretty well to only get broken once considering he was fully reliant on just the serve & had no movement whatsoever

11. u/2shellbonus · 2026-10-24 14:12 UTC

To be fair to Meddy, Bubliks serve was firing on all cylinders today.

12. u/random_cangaroo · 2026-10-24 13:48 UTC

Why did he retire? Couldn't watch

13. u/musicproducer07 · 2026-10-24 13:50 UTC

Knee injury from the Khachanov match

14. u/random_cangaroo · 2026-10-24 15:53 UTC

Thanks. Let's hope nothing too serious.

15. u/2shellbonus · 2026-10-24 14:09 UTC

Well that felt like 20 minutes of serve practice

16. u/shitsadrag · 2026-10-24 13:47 UTC

Oh!

17. u/Perfect_Field_9830 · 2026-10-24 13:51 UTC

Ah that was obvious

18. u/According_Umpire2269 · 2026-10-24 13:47 UTC

The question is whether Bublik would make it to Basel now?(

19. u/musicproducer07 · 2026-10-24 13:50 UTC

He's definitely gonna cut his losses and withdraw. 9 times out of 10 Bublik would've withdrawn if this match was held elsewhere but he had some grace to at least to show up for the crowd and gave a speech to apologize to them.
