"Bublik offers his racket to a ball boy to play for him again"

With Alexander Bublik, it's very difficult not to ensure a good show. The latest from the Kazakh was at the ATP Montpellier, when he was playing his quarterfinal match against Aleksandar Kovacevic. In the middle of the match, Bublik invited one of the ball boys to play a point, handing him his racket and offering him all the spotlight. The young boy and the audience thoroughly enjoyed the moment, which is not the first time Bublik has done something like this. However, the Kazakh ended up losing the match.

Bublik's Tremendous Confession About Why He Believes He Will Never Win a Grand Slam

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."

Pure Surrealism of Bublik: Relates Sinner and Swiatek's Doping Case to Kung Fu Panda

Alexander Bublik is one of the most charismatic players on the circuit, and he has once again demonstrated this with some totally surreal statements regarding the doping case of Jannik Sinner. When asked about his opinion on the doping cases of both the Italian and Iga Swiatek, the Kazakh did not hesitate to respond by making a comparison with a famous animated movie: "In the 'Kung Fu Panda' cartoons, Master Oogway says: 'Accidents do not happen', so I will answer in this way." In this manner, Bublik subtly takes a jab at both players, who tested positive in doping controls in 2024.

ATP Beijing 2024: Cobolli continues his progression and surprises Bublik in a great match

Flavio Cobolli is demonstrating throughout 2024 that he is not only capable of displaying his best version on clay courts: he is becoming a more versatile player, able to shape his game on different surfaces. His debut at ATP Beijing 2024 is another showcase of what he can do: he saved a match point and came back from behind in a thrilling match against Alexander Bublik, knocking out the eighth seed in the Chinese capital (4-6, 6-1, 7-6(4)). A great result for the Italian, especially considering the jet lag and little preparation time after being part of the last Laver Cup in Berlin.

Other match results (first round):

  • Adrian Mannarino def. Lorenzo Sonego 1-6, 6-2, 6-3
  • Pavel Kotov (Q) def. Yi Zhou (WC) 1-6, 6-3, 7-5
  • Tallon Griekspoor def. Miomir Kecmanovic 6-7(3), 6-4, 6-3

ATP Chengdu 2024: Musetti suffers the unexpected to advance to the quarterfinals

The first match of Lorenzo Musetti at the Changdu ATP was not as smooth as one could expect for the title favorite. The Italian needed 3 hours to defeat Christopher O'Connell with a score of 6(5)-7 6-4 7-6(4). Musetti was on the edge multiple times, but that will only fuel him for the quarterfinals against Adrian Mannarino.

Results of the day

Kyrgios and Bublik talk about how tough it is to face Djokovic

Everyone knows how tough it is to face Novak Djokovic on a tennis court, but only the players who have experienced it can tell the tale. Nick Kyrgios and Alexander Bublik are two of those players who can speak about what it's like to go up against the Serbian, and in a video shared by UTS where they are interviewed by Patrick Mouratoglou, both agreed on his ability in returning serves. "The problem with Novak is that every time there's a break point or something like that, he plays incredibly. You can't ace him, he knows where you're going to serve it. I played against him in the Davis Cup and it was always deuce, advantage... He's everywhere. I served my best slice serve to the T and he returns it to the baseline... It's crazy," stated Bublik. The Australian recalled his lost final at Wimbledon against the Serbian: "I couldn't have served any better. I think if I had played like Rafa in the Wimbledon final, it might have gone well for me. He's different. How many finals does he have, 30? That was my first final. So with that experience, he wasn't fazed at all. He's very good."

Bublik wows Montreal with a no-hands shot

This day at the ATP in Montreal immortalized one of the most curious shots we can encounter today. It turns out that Alexander Bublik did it again on a tennis court. In his match against Ben Shelton, the Kazakh player made a move by throwing his racket on the ground to return the ball on the other side of the net. Interestingly, the ball landed on it and went to the opposite court, however, it was not counted, and that's how the match ended, with a victory for the American. The images are priceless, with both of them laughing at the net about what had just happened:
