At this Stage

Alexander Bublik did his suffering early in the week, going five sets with Thanasi Kokkinakis in round one (4-6 6-3 6-7(10) 6-3 6-4); this was the corrective. The No. 10 seed ended qualifier Kyrian Jacquet's run 6-3 6-4 7-6(5) in under two hours, the Frenchman — who had beaten fellow qualifier Vilius Gaubas for his place in the round — never finding the foothold his fortnight had earned elsewhere. Straight sets, low drama, the serve doing the talking: the Bublik blueprint when it works. He advances, overtime-free this time, to a last-32 meeting with No. 17 seed Frances Tiafoe.
