Alexander Bublik kallar dubbelspel för halvt tennis i raka uttalanden

Alexander Bublik har avfärdat dubbeltennis som att det inte är riktig tennis under en intervju nyligen. Den kazakiske spelaren beskrev det som halvt tennis och antydde att det bara är de som inte kan hävda sig i singel som väljer formatet.

Bublik uttryckte sina åsikter i direkta ordalag. ”Eftersom de är dubbelspelare är det inte tennis. Det är halvt tennis. Om du inte kan spela singel, spelar du dubbel. Om du inte kan spela dubbel, spelar du padel. Väldigt enkelt”, sa han. Han förstärkte tidigare kommentarer som redan väckt kritik från andra spelare och tränare.
