Barberry was upset at the 2025 French Open, becoming the first Kazakh men's singles player to reach the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam

On the 2nd local time, the world's 62nd-ranked Kazakhstan player Alexander Bullik (Alexander Bublik) reversed the British No. 5 seed Draper 5:7, 6:3, 6:2, 6:4), and entered the top 8 of the French Open for the first time in his career, becoming the first Kazakhstan men's singles player in history to break into the top 8 of a Grand Slam.

Barberic burst into tears when he was touched by the applause from the audience, and he said: "Sometimes there is only one chance in life, I feel that it belongs to me, I can't let it slip away, and standing here, this is the best moment of my life." ”

In fact, Barberry fell out of the top 80 in the world rankings after losing in the first round of the Indian Springs Masters in March this year, but he went to Las Vegas to take a three-day break to change his mood, and his change of mood paid off, as he finished runner-up at the Phoenix Challenger, won the Torino Challenger, and this time upset Australia's ninth seed De Minaur in the first round of the French Open.

Barberik, who has also won two of the world's lowest-ranked players in the top 10 since Dmitry Medvedev in 1999, will climb back into the top 40 after reaching the quarter-finals of the French Open, where he will face a strong challenge from Italian star Sinner.
