Alexander Bublik is well-known for striking weird shots, but on Sunday he went to an all-new level. Sascha was playing the final against Lorenzo Sonego in Metz. He was 6-7 1-3 down and facing a break point. After a great serve, he had an extremely easy overhead near the net. For weird reasons, he decided to hit that overhead with the handle of the racket to lose a crucial point. Eventually, he ended up losing the final.
