(VIDEO) "Boobie needs a vacation!” – TNT Sports trolled by fake Bublik quote on-air
ATPThursday, 05 June 2025 at 19:26
TNT Sports was once again fooled by fake quotes—this time involving supposed statements from Alexander Bublik after his defeat to Jannik Sinner at Roland Garros. The TV broadcast, now led by TNT, fell for a parody tennis account on social media.
On Wednesday night, World No. 1 Jannik Sinner dominated Alexander Bublik 6-0, 7-5, 6-1. Bublik, ranked No. 62, was an unexpected quarterfinalist and has frequently voiced his dislike for playing on clay.
He earned his place with an epic comeback against No. 9 Alex de Minaur (2-6, 2-6, 6-4, 6-3, 6-2) and then outplayed No. 5 Jack Draper (5-7, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4).
During TNT Sports' Thursday coverage before the women’s semifinals, the panel—Coco Vandeweghe, Sam Querrey, and Pat McEnroe—looked back on highlights, including Sinner vs. Bublik. At one point, McEnroe quoted what he thought Bublik had said in press:
“He said he’s a ‘boobie’, I think he said this before… ‘Boobie needs a vacation’.”
JUST CENTEL'D TNT AGAIN.

The crew laughed, unaware the quote came from a parody account on X called Tennis Centel, known for posting fake player quotes.
The original post (a day earlier) claimed Bublik had already booked a flight before facing Sinner: “To be fair, the guy is a robot. What do you expect of me? No chance I will win a set. I made good money this week and booked a flight to America. Boobie needs a vacation. I’ve always wanted to see the Grand Canyon.”
Bublik already booked flight ahead of Sinner match

- Maybe she's receiving hints that it's time to take a break if Gauff and suspended matches are too much for her.
mandoist19-06-2025 - Americans should be banned from competitive tennis. They are generally taller and have longer forearms. And of course, being a Wimbledon champion is wholly reliant on these two factors alone. Mental and physical preparation, training, mindset, level of fitness, tactics, competitor analysis etc. clearly have nothing to do with the match outcome. My position is borne out by the facts - of Wimbledon open women’s single champions, 29 have been American, whereas the whole of the rest of the world has only managed 27. This imbalance needs to be urgently addressed 🤣Paul10118-06-2025
- The general pattern has been Loser Bettors attacking people better than themselves through (anti)Social Media. The majority of threats and disgusting comments come from those who lose their lunch money, allowances, and rent money in online bets.mandoist17-06-2025
- Just realize the problem, then address the problem. Don't bullshit everyone (actually only yourself) for over a week and finally admit a simple mistake or misjudgement. It's never a good idea to try to justify shaky comments instead of owning them. Quicker one makes an admission of somewhat poor judgement, the sooner it goes away.mandoist17-06-2025

- BBC sports coverage blows anyway. Two most obvious reasons = They can't seem to shut their mouths often enough -- and they will bounce from one event to another at will. Not to mention show 90% of a sporting event and cut it short to go to regularly schedule programs! In short, BBC sucks.mandoist14-06-2025
- Jimmy, how much more pause are you talking about? By the time the match ends to the time they stage is erected and they mount it to accept the award is about 10 minutes. All players are not at the same maturity level. Culture and one's upbringing has a LOT to do with how players each respond to a loss. Some players just need to learn how to exercise self-control. It isn't everything that you want to say that you should say.Rapunzel11-06-2025
