Alexander Bublik est un joueur à part. C'est assez simple, on adore ou on déteste. Depuis six mois maintenant, le Kazakhstanais fait preuve d'une régularité folle puisque, pour la première fois de sa carrière, il a intégré le top 10. Et il peut espérer voir encore plus haut, puisqu'à Doha, Dubaï et Indian Wells il n'a pas gagné le moindre match la saison dernière.Mais pour y arriver, Bublik va devoir se concentrer à 100%, ce qu'il n'a pas réussi à faire contre Hurkacz. Bublik a multiplié les critiques à l'égard du Polonais tout au long du match mais la différence par rapport à avant... c'est qu'aujourd'hui, il gagne ce genre de matches ! Alors Bublik est-il un génie ou tout simplement un joueur exaspérant ?

The women's Australian Open final is now known for this year, and Ben and Tumaini also talk about several other buzzy topics of the day. We start with Aryna Sabalenka and the great win she had, as well as the strange hindrance call, which leads to a grunting rehash. We also discuss Elena Rybakina, and the high-quality second set she had against Pegula. We then take on two other topics of the day: the player backlash against cameras prying into their backstage lives, as well as the increasingly apparent (and rapidly approaching) Serena Williams comeback. Thank you for listening! Our Patreon is back up and running to ensure NCR keeps going and stays ad-free, and we hope you can join in supporting NCR!
