Quentin Halys won his first ATP Tour title in his second final. On July 25, 2026, he defeated defending champion Alexander Bublik 6-4, 7-6 in the Kitzbühel ATP 250 championship match, completing the victory in straight sets.
The French Tennis Federation’s July 27 report counted 17 aces from Halys in the final. The Frenchman, who turned professional in 2012, collected his first tour singles trophy at the age of 29.
His previous final had been in Gstaad in 2024. Two years later, another title opportunity brought him up against the reigning Kitzbühel champion. Halys won the opening set and completed the second in a tiebreak.
The tournament traced its French finalists back to Henri Leconte in 1983, followed by five more before Halys. Arthur Cazaux had lost to Bublik in the 2025 final; in 2026, Halys defeated the same champion to take the trophy.
