Every tennis fan loves to see a player having fun on the court and there's definitely a lot of fun when Alexander Bublik plays.
The 25-years-old Kazakh reached the 2022 Florence Open quarterfinals and in his match against J.J. Wolf, he didn't forget to entertain fans once again. Just a few days earlier, Alexander Bublik made a cheering competition between fans after beating Corentin Moutet and he seemed to be following Alexander Zverev's second round match at the 2017 Paris Masters.
Back then, the young German took on Robin Haase from the Netherlands and everything was looking well for him when he was up 4-1 in the first set. After a funny exchange with the umpire, Zverev untied his shoelaces when walking to his side of the court.
Eventually, he lost the match in three sets and probably wasn't in the mood for joking afterwards. A very similar thing was observed also in Florence as Bublik has decided to untie umpires' shoelaces as well and then proceeded to lose in three sets.
However, it's great to see him having fun on the court as it's well known that he struggled to enjoy his time with tennis. But in a recent interview, Bublik said that's not the case anymore, as he said: "It was not a joke that I said I play tennis for money because at that specific moment I was not enjoying what I was doing. But as time went by and it has been three years since that interview, things have changed a lot and I do enjoy playing tennis now."
