Stanislav Bublik, father and first coach of Alexander Bublik, granted an extensive interview to the Russian media outlet Sports. In the interview, he candidly discusses the tennis childhood of the current Kazakh player, his role in his development, and the fracture that ultimately separated them. His words paint a tough and profoundly human portrait of a relationship marked by sacrifice and also by wounds that are still open.

He speaks as someone who is not detached from Bublik's journey. Stanislav was the one who coached him since he was a child, who accompanied him for years in his growth to reach the top 50, and who, according to his own account, dedicated a large part of his professional and economic life to his son's sports development. The interview covers many topics, but there is a clear central theme: what lay behind the tennis player who is now known worldwide and how that construction ended up straining the relationship between them.

“I wanted more than he did”

"I wanted more than he did. That's why, essentially, he had no choice," admits Stanislav when recalling Alexander's early years in tennis. A sentence that captures the intensity with which he experienced the process from the Kazakh's childhood. Stanislav himself recalls a recurring phrase from his son: "Dad, you want me to play tennis more than I do." Far from softening the story, he insists on the idea: "From 11 to 20 years old, he was practically full time with me, so in his mind, the idea was built that tennis was the priority and it had to be approached professionally".

Asked whether he had to push him to work, his response leaves no room for doubt: "Always". And he explains why he took that demand to such an extent: "I didn't want him to one day tell me, 'Why did you let me down? Why didn't you push me more?'"

Money and the price of sacrifice

Stanislav also delves into the economic cost of supporting his son's career. "I decided not to earn money, but to help my son reach where he did," he explains, recalling that he left much better-paying jobs to continue traveling with him.

One of the most striking statements comes when discussing the financial agreement between both: "We had a contract where 20% of his prizes were for me." However, he claims that was never honored. "Throughout his career, I received $20,000. That's all I earned from my son."

“I'm not the one who doesn't speak to him”

The toughest moment of the interview comes when addressing the personal rupture between them. Stanislav wants to make it clear that, according to his version, the distance does not originate from him: "I'm not the one who doesn't speak to him, he's the one who doesn't speak to me. They are very different things". He even explains how he interprets that silence: "I understand that my son is not going to talk to me. That way he avoids not only the financial issue but also confronting everything he knows I did for him".

Nevertheless, there is no trace of resentment when asked about Alexander's recent successes: "None, just happiness." And he recalls a very special moment in 2019 when Bublik entered the top-50 for the first time: "That night, for the first time in his life, he told me: 'Dad, if you hadn't been such a tennis fanatic, maybe I would never have made it'. That moment perhaps encapsulates better than anything the complexity of a story in which sports ambition and family relationships ended up intertwining until they broke apart
