The Journey to the Trophy

Heading into Saturday’s final, Quentin Halys was determined to change his story. His only previous ATP Tour final had been at Gstaad in 2024, where he lost in less than an hour to Matteo Berrettini in a very one-sided match. Halys had also experienced a three-year title drought at the ATP Challenger level, losing several finals along the way.

However, Halys came to Kitzbühel with a fresh mindset: a “zero regrets” approach. Facing World No. 11, top seed, and 2025 Kitzbühel champion Alexander Bublik, Halys knew he had to bring his absolute best tennis.

Match Breakdown

Halys started the match with incredible focus and energy. He set the tone immediately in the first game of the match by firing four consecutive aces. His powerful serve kept Bublik off-balance throughout the entire opening set, allowing Halys to secure a single break of serve and close out the first set 6-4.

The second set was a much closer, high-intensity battle. Both players held serve to force a high-stakes tie-break. Bublik pushed hard to force a third set and even earned himself a set point at 6/5 in the tie-break.

Under heavy pressure, Halys showed incredible mental toughness:

He hit a clean, powerful forehand winner to save the set point at 5/6.
He won the next point to give himself his first championship point.
Bublik attempted a tricky drop shot that hit the net, sealing the match for the Frenchman at 7-6(6).

Over the course of the match, Halys hit an outstanding 17 aces and won 41 out of 55 points on his serve.

History Made for French Tennis

With this victory, Quentin Halys became the first French player in the Open Era to win the Generali Open in Kitzbühel. Before Halys’s victory, French players had reached the final six times in Kitzbühel history, but had lost every single time (0-6).

The win also dramatically improved Halys’s world ranking. Rising 32 spots up to World No. 51, he moved within five spots of his career-high ranking of No. 46.

What Halys Said: “Zero Regrets”

After lifting his maiden trophy, Halys spoke candidly about his mental state, his coaches, and his goals for the future.

“It’s tough not to think about my family, because since I was a kid the goal was to win an ATP title and today the dream came true. So thanks to my parents, my grandparents and everybody who made this possible.”

On Learning from Past Mistakes

Looking back at his heavy defeat against Matteo Berrettini in his first ATP final in 2024, Halys explained how he prepared differently for this match:

Focusing on the fight: “Last time was a pretty easy match for Berrettini. Today I just wanted to fight and at least enjoy and give something… I wanted to have zero regrets at the end of this match.”
Staying in the moment: “I was really focused and I was not expecting many things, from the first match to the last… Sometimes when you don’t expect anything, you get some great results.”

On Age and Future Goals

At 29 years old, Halys understands that his first title came later than most top players, but he remains very optimistic about his career:

Patience: “I’m 29 so let’s say I’m a bit late, but the level is so high now… I’m feeling good and I think I have a few more years to play.”
Gratitude for his team: He praised his longtime physical trainer, Ben, and his coach of two years, Olivier Malcor, for building his game and fitness over time.
Celebration plans: A huge Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) fan, Halys joked that he had no initial plans, but was heading back home to Paris to party. When asked which ATP player he would choose to play for PSG, he picked fellow Frenchman Richard Gasquet due to his natural football talent.

Sportsmanship from Bublik

Defending champion Alexander Bublik showed great sportsmanship during the trophy presentation, offering warm words to the first-time champion:

“I remember my first one. I was chasing it for maybe five or six finals, and you did it in the second one, so big congrats to you. Enjoy. It’s always going to be a special one.”

— Alexander Bublik to Halys.

A Perfect 8-0 Record

The doubles section of the 2026 Austrian Open Kitzbühel final results was dominated by Austrian favourite Lucas Miedler and Australian partner Marc Polmans.

The second-seeded pair stormed past the third-seeded German duo of Jakob Schnaitter and Mark Wallner with a dominant 6-2, 6-2 victory in just 57 minutes.

This victory marked back-to-back ATP Tour titles for Miedler and Polmans. Just one week earlier, they won the doubles crown at the tournament in Gstaad. After surviving tight Match Tie-breaks in both the quarter-finals and semi-finals in Kitzbühel, they played a nearly flawless final match:

They converted 4 out of 10 break points.
They did not face a single break point on their own serve.
They extended their team record to a perfect 8 wins and 0 losses (8-0).

Miedler/Polmans Team Record:
Gstaad ATP 250:     [4 Wins - 0 Losses] 🏆
Kitzbühel ATP 250:  [4 Wins - 0 Losses] 🏆
Total Partnership:  [8 Wins - 0 Losses] 100% Win Rate

Historic Record for Lucas Miedler

The win was extra special for local crowd favorite Lucas Miedler. By winning on Saturday, the 30-year-old Austrian earned his third doubles title at the Generali Open, tying the all-time tournament record. He shares this record with his former playing partner Alexander Erler, with whom he won the title in 2021 and 2023.

New Career-High Rankings

Following their incredible two-week run across Gstaad and Kitzbühel, both players achieved new milestones in the PIF ATP Doubles Rankings:

Lucas Miedler: Moves up 2 spots to a career-high ranking of No. 19.
Marc Polmans: Moves up 5 spots to a career-high ranking of No. 21.

Miedler noted after the match that the team originally planned to use these two weeks just to test their chemistry, but achieving back-to-back titles has given them immense confidence for the rest of the season.
