Alexander Bublik won his third career title taking the final in Antwerp over teen Arthur Fils 6-4, 6-4.

Bublik slammed 11 aces to go with 11 doubles, but lost just 1 points on first serve and never faced a break point.

“I was pretty much serving all match,” the 26-year-old Bublik said. “I told Arthur I was very lucky to beat him in a final before he becomes the next big thing. That was the only option I had, and I executed it well.”


Bublik got breaks for 3-2 in the first and 1-0 to start the second.

Fils, who was 0-3 on break chances, was seeking a second career title. The 19-year-old had upset Stefanos Tsitsipas in the semifinals.
