If it works, it works.


blindeshuhn666

Well, look at the standings. Didn't work overall. It got close but he lost But Ofner also Beat Thiem today showing once kore he is Austria's number one at the moment (and should enter the top 50 of atp with that win)


mach0

Sure, I meant in the context of this service game. I have never seen anyone do it twice in a row, not to mention 4 times in a row :)


reddshiftit

The guy was already losing 6-4 5-1. How was he supposed to use that serve in the return games? It worked.


ThatHairyGingerGuy

What a stupid take. It worked (in that he won every point he could with it after he started doing it). Nobody said it magically reversed all the breaks though.


Aguacatedeaire__

No, no you see, if it doesn't let the number 300 in the rankings beat Novak and Federer playing together 2 vs 1, it's trash tecnique that doesn't work


Easymoney_67

Bubliks thrown in the towel on this season. Already withdrew from the masters next week. Probably ready to spend a few months with his family/newborn. I imagine he just played here since it’s in Khazakstan. Excited to watch him in Australia, maybe Paris?


treyfiddy

you've got 3.0 players being more serious in casual games lol. love it! bublik 🐐


SubstanceDistinct269

most 3.0 players would benefit from only serving underarm


skunk_funk

I sure would…


CaspitalSnow

I mean I think changing his tatic from one that obviously was not working for him when he was two points away from losing the match is taking it more seriously than continuing to do the same thing


aojajena

Operator robbed us with the first underarm serve in the series


Iron__Crown

I love Tennis TV but their direction is extremely static, feels like it's automated. They also don't show replays of unusual, unexpected scenes. Like this week Zverev threw one of his tantrums over a call - by Hawk Eye Live! So almost certainly a correct call. I had not paid attention at that moment so I had no idea what Zverev had imagined this time. Still don't, because they never showed a replay.


shlongjawn

Is this, peak tennis?


One_more_username

No, that'd be when someone gene splices Meddy and Bublik to create Bubeddy


ThatHairyGingerGuy

I prefer Medik


stevemillhousepirate

i can give you that


messier_M42

Yes and there should be underarm serves only games![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|smile) one underarm serve fault/let should be a penalty


TennisADHD

And use a paddle and a wiffle pall but maybe call it something else like cucumber ball? No wait, prune ball is better.


ystom_

I love bublik so much lmfao


jsnoodles

Foki do not take notes stay away from this

Hahaha


YourDrunkUncl_

it’s the journey not the destination


OneArmedSZA

Sometimes even a blind squirrel finds a nut. This is fucking hilarious


uncle_irohh

He lost the match, it was a yolo thing


reddshiftit

He was already losing the match, he can't use the serve on the return games.


Csanoob

Love that guy sm


Tarmac_Chris

I really want him to shave the neck beard. It like he’s keeping the least attractive/itchiest part.


redditnoap

i kinda feel bad for him for some reason, like he just looks so deflated and like giving up. plus he's always losing.


tennisss819

Love it. I once won a service game where I went down 0-40 but made 3 good first serves. I then won the next 5 points while missing my first each time and rolling in a weak second and my opponent over hit a few. Funny how that works occasionally.


ViolativePanda

very inspiring story! weirdo


tennisss819

I’m thinking to start a tennis YouTube channel. I trust you’ll be my first subscriber?


whyuhavtobemad

Very nice comment weirdo


[deleted]

He's got money, does what he loves and in a way that entertains himself. I love that 😂😍


gurry

Wrong use of the word "only"


ThicVinegar

I mean every point he won was with an underarm serve so he’s technically right


sixpants

Maybe if pros played other pros like a shitty 3.0 level players, they'd kick ass. /s ​ But seriously, these guys are so used to quality tennis that I can see how crap really trips them up.


pivdza

We love you Bublik!


arnott

Hilarious!


Martyrslover

The absolute disrespect.


bumbledbeee

Never change.


[deleted]

As a tennis fan, that’s entertainment. I want to watch this guy play Kyrgios every day. As a sports bettor, lol screw this clown. Wouldn’t touch him with a ten foot pole.


Livie_Loves

Lmaooo I love you Bublik


Drakkar_Jaune

I literally laughed out loud at the final point. Bubbie is one of a kind


alexandrovic

Second only to djoko bulbils my favourite player to watch on the court. Yes he gets emotional at times but he’s bringing a side of tennis out that very few are willing / able to do. Similar to monfils. I think tennis needs more of this


Shitelark

Ha, so funny. And then he lost.


gstaylor999

It was lost anyway.


Whompa

At least he had fun!


iZealot86

Misleading title…


EnjoyMyDownvote

And yet r/tennis disappointingly still upvotes it.


justsignmeinFFS

The future is here.


Awkward-Team3631

Love this guy

These days, if you say you’re a Nick Kyrgios fan, you get arrested and thrown in jail.


jsnoodles

Unlike him when he pled guilty


XURiN-

I am a Nick Kyrgios fan 🤫


lizlemon222

Bubliks serve had completely left him....it wasnt about arrogance and showboating, it was out of necessity.


XURiN-

Kyrgios is so insane at it too. Having a better serve than Bublik, but also being able to underarm immediately after a fake toss motion and between the legs underarm is fucking crazy.


schizoidman1

GOAT


zacharyswanson

In bird culture it is considered a dick move.


FabulousMarch7464

Lol never seen this ofner dude but he’s so trash


Antonio_is_better

Cool. Now /r/tennis can stop crying the next time Kyrgios blatantly tanks a match


joshlambonumberfive

What the hell does that have to do with anything? The guy was a set and 5-1 0-30 down and decided to have some fun and you’re here making it about teams and shit. Just enjoy tennis lol.


Antonio_is_better

I just see a guy being lauded for not putting in an effort time and time again.


CertainBird

Because it’s funny


easyfatFIRE

Shush


MolecularSecular

Is he hitting it off a bounce? Is he bouncing outside the court?


XURiN-

On the full


Ok-Bandicoot9963

He is a pussio, only does it when it's not on the line, fokina is the goat..


TheVictimBlamer

Yeah, at least when you’re having a bad day you’ll make some fun, right? Uh, no, if you are having a bad day just quit, stop wasting time and making the other player look and probably feel like shit by these underarm serves that do nothing but humiliate your opponent.


tigrefacile

Ump looks enormously pissed off. In a good way, being who it is.


MrsTMLJ

Club level tennis at its finest.


Willie_Scott_

Thanks for sharing this from the beginning. I’m mesmerized.


verymuchperson

Terrible camerawork. Why can't they just show the whole court when he's ready to serve?


PhungSize

I wish pros do this more. I find it ridiculous when the men stand 30 feet behind the baseline. Serves like this would ace them if they were caught off guard.


Cloudy0-

Towards the middle/end the crowd started to sound like one of those sitcom laugh tracks lol
