Alexander Bublik is one interesting tennis player, and he's keen to share his tennis wisdom with kids, which is exactly what he did recently.

Bublik recently had a pretty solid stretch on the grass by winning the biggest trophy of his career in Halle at the ATP 500 tournament. He then followed that up with a solid performance at Wimbledon but was beaten by Andrey Rublev in a very competitive match. It was the best tennis he had played in a long time because the year generally has been relatively weak results-wise.

The Kazakhstani player is known for being able to play some amazing tennis but besides that, he's also known to attempt some rather outrageous shots on the courts as well. Just last year, he hit the ball with the racquet handle during a match in Metz. It was quite a viral moment on tennis Twitter but nothing surprising to those familiar with Bublik's work.

He's now sharing that knowledge with the youngest as he held a tennis lesson. On the agenda? Well, the racquet handle shot because you're obviously going to need it during a match. A brief moment of the less was caught on cameras which obviously quickly spread around on social media. Bublik himself looked pleased with the way kids were absorbing the lesson quickly.

When it comes to his playing career, Bublik will have a chance to bring that shot to the courts rather soon as he's set to take part in the Ultimate Tennis Showdown in Los Angeles which is set to begin tomorrow July 21st.

Bublik is part of a packed field of players who like a few good trick shots, such as Gael Monfils, Frances Tiafoe, and others, so it should be a good one. Stay with us to get the latest updates from that event.
