Alexander Bublik stunned top seed and Olympic champion Alexander Zverev to win his maiden ATP title in Montpellier on Sunday.
The 24-year-old Russian-born Kazakh triumphed over the world number three from Germany, 6-4, 6-3.
Bublik's win will also assure him a new career-high ranking on Monday from his current 35.
"I had four finals and the fifth final I have won against a great player like 'Sascha'," said Bublik.
"It's great. All my game together. I was serving well and returned well and kept my nerve. I was lucky in the moments and when I had my chances I used them."
Zverev had taken a late wildcard into the Montpellier event following a disappointing fourth-round exit at the Australian Open last month.
