Alexander Bublik appeared at a press conference prior to the Roland Garros 2026 tournament and gave a detailed insight into one of his trademark shots: the underarm serve. The Kazakh player played down the impact of this shot and expressed his bewilderment at the media hype surrounding it, explaining why he uses it occasionally.

"I use it when I feel like it. I don't think it's anything special, and honestly, I believe it gets too much attention for what it really is. To me, it's not a tactical weapon. If someone truly thinks it is, then they probably don't understand much about tennis. It's simply a tool for entertainment. It serves to lighten the mood a bit, to make the audience laugh, or even to gift a point to the opponent. Most of the time, you probably end up giving the opponent the point, so I don't really understand why people make such a fuss about it. Sometimes I don't feel like all that emotional or theatrical part, especially in important matches or large stadiums."
