During his third-round match at the Mutua Madrid Open, cameras and microphones captured an interesting moment between Alexander Bublik and Mohamed Lahyani. In a match where he was clearly defeated by Jakub Mensik, the Kazakh player made a comment that sparked laughter from fans on social media. "Mohamed, do you remember how easy it was to play tennis five years ago? There were a bunch of random guys in the Top 50 who could barely move. Now, this guy (Mensik) isn't even in the Top 10. What the **** is this?!" Bublik commented.
"Remember when tennis was easy? Five years ago, it was super easy to play tennis. You had a bunch of random people in the Top 50, barely moving. Now this guy [Mensik] is not even Top 10. The **** is that?"
