WATCH: Bublik Raises Eyebrows With Unusual Return Position Against Zverev

Alexander Bublik took on Alexander Zverev at the Halle Open, and it was an interesting match, like most matches that Bublik plays.

Bublik played a fabulous match, outplaying Zverev from the baseline. He managed to win the match in two sets, dominating rallies with his superb shot-making. Zverev played a fair match but failed to book his first final since his injury last year.

Bublik is a fascinating player, one who is featured very often on TennisTV, where fans have a chance to see all sorts of highlights from tennis courts around the world.

His return position in the match against Zverev was of particular interest to many, as TennisTV posted a video of Bublik trying to confuse the German.

Zverev built a reputation for committing many double faults earlier in his career as he tried to brute-force his serve. It's cooled down since then, but he is still prone to the same mistakes.

Bublik tried to bait his opponent into double faults by coming up very close to the service line before the serve and then making his way back as Zverev went into his service motion.

This is not the first time players have done something like this. We've seen it both in the ATP and WTA Tour, and for Bublik, it worked. The German didn't commit many double faults in the match, but he was left puzzled by it, unsure of how to approach the rallies with some stares towards Bublik, showing Zverev's displeasure with the tactic.

It's a great result for Bublik after struggling for much of this year, and an unfortunate ending for Zverev, who arrived in Halle with a lot of confidence.

He spoke about winning trophies ahead of the event, and even though that didn't happen, the run was still good. On the other hand, Bublik is focused on winning his first title of the season.
