"Who is in the Quarter-Final Cachin?": Casper Ruud's 2022 US Open draw hilariously belittled by Alexander Bublik
ATP
Kazakhstan’s tennis star hilariously belittled the current world
number 11 Casper Ruud’s 2022 US Open draw in a recent video.
The Norwegian tennis star made it to the final of
the fourth and final Grand Slam of the year in 2022 where he eventually lost to
the current world number two Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz with a score of 6–4, 2–6,
7–6(7–1), 6–3.
In a video posted on social media platform X — previously
known as Twitter—Ruud talked about how he started the competition with no rhythm
but things started to get better with every match.
“It was crazy,” he said. “I was there for one week
practising before the tournament and I lost every set practice. No matter who I
was playing, I lost every practice. It was too fast for me. I had no chance to
play.
“And then, I had a quite good draw. In the first round, I
played Kyle Edmund. And then second round I played Tim van Rijthoven. Tommy
Paul in the third & Corentin Moutet in the fourth."
Bublik, who was sitting with him during the conversation, hilariously
interrupted by saying: “But what the hell is this draw? And then who was in the
quarterfinal, Pedro Cachin? I am sorry, no offence.”
Rudd defeated Italy’s Matteo Berrettini in the last-eight
fixture and Russia’s Karen Khachanov in the semifinal of the competition before
losing to Alcaraz in the grand finale.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
