Aleksandr Bublik (19th) fell 6-4 and 7-5 against Frenchman Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard in the semifinals of the ATP 250 in Lyon, a tournament in which Tomás Etcheverry is in the final. The Kasajo, apart from being a great tennis player, is recognized for making particular plays without caring about the context of the match.
The defeat in the semifinals of the French tournament was no exception, since Bublik was 0-40 in the fifth game of the first set and decided to serve from below. He ended up getting the point and repeated the action six times. He finally ended up taking the game and was 2-3 in the set.
However, the world number 19 ended up losing and Mpetshi Perricard will play his first final in his short career against the Argentine Tomás Etcheverry, who beat Luciano Darderi 6-2, 6-4. Bublik will return to action next week at Roland Garros, where he will face local Grégoire Barrère.
