Kazakh tennis star Alexander Bublik has raised his concerns for tennis players as he demands fair compensation and other necessary changes. Bublik has voiced his opinion on the minimal increase in prize money for the past 15 years and also talked about the hectic schedule. The 26-year-old says that he is all in for changes as they have become necessary now.

The World No. 23, who is slowly climbing up the rankings, feels there is a need for changes. Bublik expressed his frustration with the minimal increases in prize money for tournaments. The Kazakh ace claims that there has been an increase of only 2% in the prize money over the past 15 years and players are not happy about it.

I’m for changes, and I want the changes to come because we are playing the same tournaments, the same prize money for the past 15 years. They are increasing the prize money for 2% and they think we need to get that and be happy. So I think the changes are crucial. We need them, and players need them.)

The Kazakh ace also raised his concerns about the scheduling and how the tour has become more demanding. Alexander Bublik says that players have to compete for almost 11 months in a year and the one month off is not enough to rejuvenate themselves.

Players deserve the changes, and players deserve to be treated well, paid well and play less, and enjoy the atmosphere more because otherwise, it’s really demanding to play for 11 months in a row. Then at the end of the year, you’ve got one month off and then go on again. So I think the players deserve a better life.
Alexander Bublik said.

It is worth mentioning that many players have pointed out the issues with the scheduling. Not only men’s players but the women’s players are also worried about the reckless scheduling. Bublik has raised his voice on the same matter.

Talking about Bublik’s on-court mavericks, the Kazakh ace recently clinched the title in Montpellier. The 26-year-old won the ATP 250 tournament by defeating Borna Coric in the final. At the 2024 Australian Open, Bublik had a heartbreak as he was knocked out after a defeat in the first round to Sumit Nagal.
