Bublik takes a humorous jab at Sinner's agenda for playing the Saudi tournament

Alexander Bublik has taken a funny dig at Jannik Sinner amid his comments surrounding the Six Kings Slam where he said money wasn't a factor for him in his decision to play the Saudi tournament.

As ever Bublik was in a hilarious mood and he is the latest to weigh in with a quick dig at the Italian during his interview at the Paris Masters. Carlos Alcaraz was the first to disagree with Sinner's claim saying that if he said he wasn't playing for the money he'd be lying.

"Like Jannik Sinner said money is not the thing?" said Bublik interrupting Prakash Amritraj mid interview when asked about his earnings this season.

"Well, I mean, if I say (smiling), I mean, I went there just for fun or to play and forget the money, I'm gonna lie. That's obviously -- I mean, every person work for that, as well. You know, that's how life is about,' said Alcaraz over the past week in response to the Sinner comments.

"You know, I love playing tennis. You know, most of the time I don't think about the money. I just play for love or for fun. But you have to be realistic. You have to think that you want to earn money, you know, and that's it. In Arabia is the most highest prize money ever in the history, so that was a good motivation, at least for me," he added.
