Jannik Sinner: ironic message from Bublik after the knockout

It was not an easy afternoon for Alexander Bublik, defeated in three sets at Roland Garros by world number one Jannik Sinner with the scores of 6-1, 7-5, 6-0. The Kazakh tennis player was unable to counter the strength of the Blue, who has qualified for the semifinals of the Paris tournament without losing a set so far.

Bublik had a real moment of crisis in the first set: down 5-0, he exulted when he managed to snatch the first game from the South Tyrolean, taking the applause of the audience and celebrating it almost as a victory.

In the second Bublik fully entered the match but succumbed 7-5, while in the third really came the bagel (6-0) that sealed the deal. After the match, the Kazakh player joked by commenting on his Instagram profile: “I almost got him guys” (“I almost got him guys”) which sparked the’hilarity of tennis fans.

Bublik and Sinner have a good relationship, and the Kazakh tennis player was among the first rivals to recognize the Azure’s great talent, calling him “not human” when he was 19 years old.
