Alexander Bublik is well known for being one of the best players to watch on the ATP Tour for his sheer unorthodox brilliance he produces throughout a tie and despite going down against Casper Ruud at the Miami Open, he left his mark on the tie.
Instead of returning the conventional route, he used his racquet handle to return before going on to win the point. This left the crowd in awe and also Ruud as well.
Post match, they spoke at the next and after Bublik wished him well before Ruud made a comment about him still making it onto TennisTV which he did. "At least you have two or three hot shots so you will be on TennisTV like always," he said.
Nick Kyrgios also replied to this on social media saying 'that's crazy' with the showboating Aussie impressed with what he saw.
