That’s unreal

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

Do you know what's going to happen next 4 tournaments? He'll win 2-3 matches *total*.

Bublik is already planning his Pataya vacation and preparing a suitcase full of condoms. He's made a bag of cash, now it's time to live it up - you guys just know it, so take action with me and fade the f.... out of Mr. Bublik.

Let's look at what he did in Toronto, Cincinnati, Winston-Salem AND US Open exactly 1 year ago.

1 round loss - Toronto Open
withdrew - Cincinnati Open
DNP - Winston-Salem
1 round loss - U.S. Open

How many ranking points is he defending until September? Not a lot. Is he going to take it easy *at least* until the Asia tournaments in September, possibly until the end of the year?

Yes, I can see that happening. For sure.

100% agree. Just like he lost Wimbledon R1. On flip side he has 0 points to defend. Any decent results hes top 20-25

My apologies; he withdrew from Toronto about 48 hours ago, before playing VDZ in the Kitzbuhel semifinal.

Nothing changed for me. He'll play at least one of the next three tournaments and is going to be a target.

De Minaur -3 games (-120)

Kalinskaya -2 games (-109)

I haven’t posted many pics this week in the thread, but I’ve been accurate. Take the Aussie in the men’s match. I do not know about the woman.

Toronto/Montreal both starting today. I thought they started mid week
