They say hope is the last thing you lose, but it seems that Alexander Bublik prefers to be a realist. Or a pessimist, depending on how you see the glass. Excerpts from his much-discussed recent interview continue to appear, and the Kazakh answers questions naturally, such as whether he thinks he will ever win a Grand Slam, a notion he deems certainly complicated, justifying it with a very revealing example related to Alexander Zverev.

"I don't think it's possible, at least in my mind. It's clear that anything can happen, if a top-3 player gets injured in the semifinals and final, then maybe, but I don't think I would be able to sustain something like that. Your lifestyle matters. To have the chance to be in the top 10, let alone compete for Slams, you must live a different life. I discuss this with the best players every day; I see what they do.

Let me give you the example of Zverev. We traveled from Shanghai to Monaco on different flights. I arrived Wednesday night, he arrived at 6 am on Thursday. These are 16-hour flights, so I was recovering on Thursday and Friday. I went to practice on Saturday, and Sascha was already there. I asked him if it was his first day of training, and he said no, it was his sixth session. In other words: he trained twice on Thursday, twice on Friday, and that was his second session on Saturday. Over a period of 10 years, it's possible that someone like Zverev has put in the equivalent of two or three more years of work than me. Yes, I can beat him in a match, but if we look in the long term, we can't compare."
