Alexander Bublik will fight until the last point to achieve two things: to make it to his first ATP Finals and to enter the Top 10. But to achieve these two goals, he must win the Paris Masters 1000 without fail. Considering the great tennis he is displaying and his draw up to a hypothetical final, everything is possible.

At the moment, Alexander Bublik is one of the most dangerous players on indoor hard courts. With his serve as his most effective weapon, the Kazakh has also learned to better choose his shots. This is evident in this ATP Rolex Paris Masters, where he has defeated tough opponents like Corentin Moutet (6-3, 7-5) or Taylor Fritz (7-6(5), 6-2) in straight sets. However, his quarter-final opponent, Alex de Miñaur, will demand everything from him from start to finish, but Bublik is up for the challenge, as he stated in an interview with Tennis.com.

A comprehensive victory over Taylor Fritz

"I would give myself an 'A' in almost every aspect of my game. I have played very well, capitalized on every opportunity I've had. He also made a couple of errors that he doesn't usually make. I am very happy with my performance."

Fritz contributed with unexpected errors

"When you are beating one of the best players in the final stretch of the season, you don't expect to win the match. So you focus on the basics, winning games with my serve, battling in the rallies, and hoping for the best. That's what I did in the beginning with Fritz. Then I started to notice that he wasn't right and began to miss some backhands that he doesn't usually miss. So I executed my strategy and chose the best shots at the right moment."

Bublik uses irony when comparing any aspect of his game to Carlos Alcaraz

"I cannot compare myself to Carlos Alcaraz in any aspect; one should not disrespect him in that way. But obviously, I have improved a lot in choosing my shots; otherwise, I wouldn't be winning so many matches and maintaining this consistency. So I hope to continue in the same vein."

Against Alex de Miñaur, he will give it his all

"It will be a challenge because I will be playing against a player who is having a fantastic season and who is already qualified for the ATP Finals. He is in a great moment of form and is close to achieving his best position in the ATP rankings. Similar to what is happening to me, as I am getting close to the Top 10 and want to keep my chances for the ATP Finals alive. I have a small opportunity, so I will go out to play my tennis, and we will see what the match holds," says Alexander Bublik who is maximizing his chances to enter the ATP Finals, which would be the perfect end to his best season in the elite.
