Russian former World No. 1 Daniil Medvedev came to support Alexander Bublik amidst the criticism of the Kazakh player due to his brash attitude. Medvedev believes Bublik is a special player despite not caring much. The duo will lock horns on Tuesday in the ongoing Dubai Tennis Championships.
Bublik came under severe criticism recently due to his violent on-court outbursts. During his match against Stan Wawrinka in Rotterdam, Bublik lost his calm and yelled some expletives. Earlier in Montepellier, Bublik vented his anger by smashing not one but three rackets.
Medvedev believes it’s not right to insult Bublik despite the shortcomings in his behavior. “I like watching him play I like that he doesn’t care, at least that’s what I feel like, what people say against him. I remember when he played in the final with the frame, I wouldn’t do it. It doesn’t mean that you have to insult him,” he said.
