The Kazakh, number 33 in the world, doesn’t mince his words and takes it out on the two former champions: “It’s not for me, I’d like to retire at the peak”. And he also has some for Sinner: “Master Oogway says there are no accidents”
Even Aleksandr Bublik, a bit like what happened to Nick Kyrgios, seems to want to join the club of those who speak not too flatteringly about Jannik Sinner. In fact, the words of the Kazakh tennis player who commented on the case of accidental doping involving the Italian tennis player are causing a lot of discussion. The world number 1, who is preparing to defend his title in the Australian Open, tested positive for Clostebol and was acquitted by an independent tribunal and is now awaiting the final ruling from the CAS after the appeal presented by Wada.
LIKE KUNG FU PANDA

To express his thoughts, Bublik used an expression from the cartoon Kung Fu Panda: “Master Oogway says there are no accidents. So this is my answer”, said the tennis player, number 33 in the world, in an interview with Russian media. “I think these kinds of incidents are not accidental. I could quote other proverbs and sayings, like ‘there’s no smoke without fire’, but this is what I think.” Bublik then also spoke about the statements of Nick Kyrgios, the main “accuser”, at least on social media, of Sinner: “If I were to analyze all of Nick’s words and try to draw conclusions, I think I would risk going crazy. I’m probably not ‘I agree with his overall analysis,’ the Kazakh said.
“NADAL AND MURRAY, WHAT A CIRCUS”

Bublik, not happy, also criticized Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray for the manner of their retirement, which in his opinion was a sad sight. “Yes, I would like to retire at the peak. Obviously, I’m not Rafa, my legacy will be much smaller, if you can call it that, but what happened with Andy Murray and Nadal was a circus. I can’t call it anything else. These two people have achieved everything there is to achieve in tennis, and we too, as fellow tennis players, looked at them with open mouths in the locker room, in admiration, and then instead you saw them bald and old shuffling around on the court . I don’t think it’s something for me.”
