Command Analysis

Alexander Bublik

Current form

Bublik has a powerful serve, both first and second, but he is not a typical serve player. His game is distinguished by high technique and unpredictability - he can, for example, unexpectedly serve from the hand. The Kazakhstani tennis player is consistently among the strong players of the tour, but his psychological instability prevents him from achieving high results on a regular basis.
