Alexander Bublik won the battle of the Sascha's in the semi-final of the Halle Open defeating the German 6-3, 7-5 on Saturday afternoon.

But also seemingly the intimidation battle as he produced a tactic which sums up the Kazakh's entertaining while unpredictable game.

With Zverev having his serve as a main weapon of choice, Bublik decided to stand close as possible to the service line in order to return it.

It worked twice in a row too with Bublik winning the game with it before going on to seal it from 6-5 to 7-5. Can he seal the title tomorrow?

Bublik is standing almost at the service line to return Zverev’s serve. You can’t make this stuff up 😂 This is a pure intimidation tactic.
