This ATP 250 championship match is for ranking momentum and late-season confidence: Bublik is the favourite having won three titles already in 2025, while Royer has gone on a rampage to reach a career‑high and his first tour‑level final. Their contrasting styles – Royer’s baseline stability against Bublik’s booming serve and all-court aggression – mean that bettors will have clear favourite lines but also a few underdog angles to consider.
Claim Welcome Bonus🇫🇷 Valentine Royer
Valentin Royer is the ATP tournament sensation: a qualifier who has managed to go through the qualifying matches and the main draw to reach his first ATP final. The 24-year-old Frenchman is on the verge of being ranked within the top 100 (just setting a new personal best in his career), and he has displayed great calm under pressure this week - a straight sets semi-final win over Corentin Moutet (6-3,6-2) included.
Royer's style of play includes a dependable flat first serve, a steady ground stroke and the general idea of extending points; he has never been victorious in a final under heavy pressure and does not have the experience of Bublik when playing against top seeds. Yet, Royer's precision in hitting the ball and his recent match tempo (several consecutive wins) allow him to create problems for Bublik in case his serve drops or if long rallies make Bublik commit unforced errors.
🇰🇿 Alexander Bublik
We can say that Alexander Bublik is coming to Hangzhou as the first choice and is very likely to win. Today, he is in the top 25 world ranking and just looking at his achievements in 2025 shows that Bublik has won 3 singles titles on tour level (Halle on grass, Gstaad, and Kitzbühel on clay) and he has been very good on hard courts which is the reason he is seeded here at this event. After a very dominant semifinal performance against Wu Yibing (6‑3, 6‑3), Bublik reached the final where he served 19 aces and ruled the rallies with big lefty serves and aggressive baseline winners. Throughout 2025, Bublik has worked on his consistency and when he is on with his first serve, he becomes very tough to beat; he gets many free points, shortens rallies, and forces his opponents to take risks. Also, experience in finals, a growing arsenal of finishing shots, and more big-match minutes than Royer make him the logical choice to win — especially if it is in straight sets — unless Royer can keep a very high first-serve percentage and a very low number of errors.
