Alexander Bublik isn't afraid to utilise a unique style on the court which is that you never quite know what you're going to get.

Bublik is just outside the top 50 in the ATP rankings and spoke about not being afraid to stray from the norm in an interview with ATP.

“I’m a gambler,” Bublik told ATPTour.com. “I like this feeling when it’s 50-50. When I’m serving full power on a second serve at deuce, I feel fear. I feel the game, I feel nice. When I hit that ace in the third-set tie-break at five-all on a second serve, I have an adrenaline boost in my body and it’s awesome… That’s the kind of person I am.”

For Bublik, it is all about improvement so that the regular tournament wins come and his ranking increases and he has spent time during lockdown adding new facets to his game so he can't rest on his laurels.

“If you can match consistency with good talent and hit some amazing shots with some really risky shots, then you become a good player. Let’s say Nick Kyrgios, he’s good at it. He knows where you have to put [those shots] and at what time, especially,” he said.

“Then there are guys like Gael Monfils. He’s a consistent player, but once in a while he’s going to surprise you and maybe it’s at six-all in the tie-break. Gael Monfils is doing that unbelievably, the same as Nick does.

“This is what I’m looking for and what I’m trying to balance in my game, so I can win more matches by surprising opponents.”

“I’ve been working on my second serve lately. To be a top player that I want to be — I want to be Top 20, maybe Top 10 — you can’t rush your second serve all the time. That was one of the main parts of my development since Indian Wells was cancelled,” he continued.

“I stopped using my second serve at full power so often. I still have it, I’ll still be surprising guys with it, but I won’t do it all the time like I used to do it for like half a year. To be the player I want to be and not just some one-match guy, I have to be consistent.”
