another week, another clay court title for BUBLIK. I remember a few years ago Bublik essentially losing on purpose on clay just to get to grass court.

Now he's playing clay during hard court season to get more wins

good for him.

How did AB got so good, your opinion Sam?

It seems like there’s more upsets on the hard-core because everybody’s decent

Bublik has always had the talent, his desire seems to be at an all time high once his ranking dropped to 85 earlier this year. He was floating b/t 30-50 for a few years. Randomly win a title, randomly make a SF to maintain his ranking, but never thrived or went above his means to perform at a higher level

he finally dipped in the ranks and that was the motivation to fully put the game together. He has always had a monster serve, but he is focused on rally tolerance rather than a big serve plus 1.

He has always said CLAY is his least favorite surface and then look at this year, QF at Rolland Garros out of NOWHERE and then back to back 250 level clay court tournaments. And a 500 level grass level title

Bublik plays strictly for the money, but it seems like maintaining a higher ranking which guarantees more money is back to motivaing him

3 titles this season...most on tour only behind Alcaraz/Sinner
