Ahead of the start of his season in Adelaide, Alexander Bublik spoke to Russian media outlet Match TV, where he reviewed the main topics of the moment in the world of tennis.

Speaking frankly, the 33rd-ranked player expressed his disappointment at the way in which Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray have left the tennis world: "I want to finish my career on a high note. Clearly, I'm not Rafa, so my legacy will be much less.

What happened with Murray and Rafa was a circus. I can't put it any other way.

They all made it, and even we, the other players, looked at them in the locker room with our mouths open.

And then one day, you see one of them bald and old. It's clear that he's not the same and never will be.

In my opinion, it's a shame, it's not even a circus. It would probably be more correct to say that."

I'm not sure why this eccentric chap equates baldness with a circus but it is a bit insulting and a bit primitive to hold that opinion.
