The first man into an ATP singles final in 2021! 🇦🇺 @alexdeminaur defeats Goffin 6-4, 3-6, 6-2 to reach the final of the #AntalyaOpen 🙌
Alex De Minaur and Alexander Bublik won their semifinals matchups and advanced to the Antalya Open final.
It was a tricky match for De Minaur who played against David Goffin but the Australian rose to the occasion and defeated the Belgian 6-4 3-6 6-2 in just under two hours of play. The Australian started off strong playing very good tennis for which Goffin had no answer. The 2nd set followed a similar pattern but it was Alex who had no answer now. He found one in the final set which he won 6-2 because of his stellar play on Goffin's serve. The Australian broke Goffin three times en route to a great finish.
The 2nd match in Turkey didn't feature the same level of excitement but it was a quality match nonetheless. Bublik continued where he left of previous days serving exceptionally well which gave him confidence in the match. Chardy struggled early on giving Bublik a large 5-1 lead. He would pull a few games back but not enough so Bublik won the opening set 6-4.
The start of the 2nd set didn't bring much better play from Chardy so Bublik jumped out to a 2-0 lead. From there he would continue to serve well until late in the set when Chardy managed to get the break back and take the 5-4 lead. Ultimately Chardy won the 2nd set in the tiebreak 7-4.
In the end it was Bublik who prevailed in the final set winning it 6-3. The Kazakhstani player proved better down the stretch and moves on to the final where he will face Alex De Minaur.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
