Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal are among the best tennis players of all time. Now they had to endure a verbal attack.
Tennis professional Alexander Bublik shot against the two legends Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray in an interview with the Russian TV channel Match TV.
What’s so annoying about Bublik? For him, the two ended their careers too late and in the end there was only more appearance than reality for both of them. “I want to go at the peak. It’s clear that I’m not Rafa (Nadal, editor’s note), my legacy will be much smaller, if you can even call it that. But what about Andy Murray and What happened to Rafa was a circus. I can’t call it anything else,” said Bublik.
Both Murray and Nadal had achieved everything, but he and other players looked closely in the dressing room and “then you see one of them bald and old” – by that he meant Nadal, who is one of the most successful with 22 Grand Slam titles tennis players throughout history. It is clear that “he is no longer the same and will never be the same.”
The Kazakh Bublik also upped the ante against Murray: “Now he’s in Novak Djokovic’s team. These are attempts to hold on to something that no longer exists, to echoes of the past. I think that’s a problem. I hope “It won’t be the case for me, but I can’t say for sure.” A reaction from Nadal and Murray is still pending.
