Alexander Bublik, the Kazakhstan star, recently gave his thoughts about the 21-time Grand Slam champion, Novak Djokovic. Despite Djokernole’s achievements on the tour, Bublik refused to consider the legendary Serbian “cool” due to various reasons.

Djokovic is well known for his aggressive demeanor on court. At the US Open 2020, the Serb was ousted from the tournament for accidentally hitting a line judge.

During an interview with Clay Tenis, Bublik was quoted ,“I wouldn’t really say he’s cool, he’s 35 years old, he can’t be cool at that age, and he’s also the father of two children.” Despite such claims, Bublik soon praised Djokovic by saying, “He is a great gentleman, a proud tennis player and father, and a great athlete.”
