Bublik: "This court is slower than that of Roland Garros"

Alexander Bublik appeared at a press conference after reaching the semifinals of the ATP Rolex Paris Masters 2025 and once again criticized the current state of the tournament's court. "It is incredibly slow, much more so than Roland Garros. There, the ball bounces a lot, and if you apply topspin, it shoots off, but here it's the opposite," stated the Kazakh, who will face Auger-Aliassime in a crucial match in his career, although he downplayed its significance. "I'm not thinking about breaking into the top 10. It's clear that it will be an important match because I have a chance to qualify as an alternate for Turin and reach a Masters 1000 final, but I wouldn't say it's the most relevant match of my career," he concluded.
