Video - Bublik Dares a Spoon Serve Against Alcaraz… and Triggers an Unusual Reaction from the Spaniard
Despite his successful season, Alexander Bublik hasn't changed and remains as provocative as ever. During a training session with Carlos Alcaraz in Turin, he sparked a hilarious moment with an unexpected spoon serve. The Spaniard's response? A humorously given middle finger.
Alexander Bublik is in Turin for the first time in his career, with the status of second alternate.
While the chances of the Kazakhstani player getting to play seem slim (though he could become the first alternate if Djokovic withdraws), the world No. 13 is taking the time to have fun with the other qualified players.
This Saturday, he trained with Carlos Alcaraz. True to his reputation, he attempted a spoon serve that surprised the world No. 2. Amused, the Spaniard responded with a middle finger, before Bublik returned the favor with a blown kiss, concluding the moment in good spirits.
