Watching: Alexander Bublik: The Ringmaster

Overview

Tennis is a way for Alexander Bublik to express himself. It is not his entire being or identity. Instead, he introduces himself as a, “full-time father and a part-time tennis player”, a description that reflects the 28-year-old’s priorities and his playful approach to the sport in which he has earned more than $10 million in prize money. Bublik is largely unpredictable and vastly entertaining. He maintains a sharp sense of humour on court, allowing him to freely enjoy the game without letting fierce competition consume his life. Tennis, for Bublik, is both a stage and a playground — a place for him to take risks, embrace creativity and find joy.
