Maxime Cressy won the ATP 250 in Newport, in the last round on grass-court before the North American trip to the chard-courts, in a context that is practically perfect for him. The 25-year-old defeated Kazakhstan Alexander Bublik in the final with the final score of 2-6 6-3 7-6 (3).
He will be number 33 and therefore on the doorstep of a seed in New York. But returning to Bublik, the Kazakh surprised the whole Newport crowd with a simply crazy shot in the semifinal won against Australian Jason Kubler.
Kubler, during a phase of the semifinal, served well and tried to close a swap with a smash. Bublik managed with a backhand to intercept and even win the point. Definitely the best point of the match, to which the native boy from Gatchina cheered with a bow to the crowd.
IN. THE. ZONE.
