Despite his more sporadic record on the ATP Tour, Bublik reiterated that, "In Davis Cup, I don't have 30 weeks to have good behaviour, bad behaviour, good match or bad match. I think I just go on court and try to be the best now, do what I can do now at the special moment."[81]

He made his Davis Cup debut at the2019 qualifying roundin his singles match against Portugal'sJoão Sousa,where he won in three sets to help Kazakhstan advance to the2019 Finals.[82]At the Finals, Bublik narrowly lost toRobin Haaseof the Netherlands in three sets, but he teamed up withMikhail Kukushkinto win the deciding doubles match against Haase andJean-Julien Rojerand seal their firsttiewin.[83]In Kazakhstan's tie against Great Britain, Bublik played his second singles match, where he defeatedDan Evans,but he lost his doubles match with Kukushkin toJamie MurrayandNeal Skupski.With the loss against Great Britain, Kazakhstan lost in the group stage and thus, ended their campaign.[84]

Olympics[edit]

At the2020 Summer Olympics,Bublik made his tennis Olympics debut, where he played Russia'sDaniil Medvedevin the first round and lost in straight sets.[96]

Playing style[edit]

At 1.96 m (6 ft 5 in), Bublik possesses a powerful serve and led the2021 ATP Tourin the number ofacesserved throughout the season.[97][98]His unpredictable and capricious game style on court has often caught opponents off-guard through his occasional use of the underarm serve and tendency to add trick shots in his matches.[99]His style has drawn comparisons to that ofNick Kyrgios,who also developed a reputation for often playing in an unorthodox manner.[97]

Bublik is also known for his irreverence to the sport and casual approach to practicing. He described his unexpected run to the 2021 French Open doubles final as a "pure accident", and explained that he did not treat doubles as professional tennis, but as a way to "make some extra money, hang around, make some jokes."[97]In a 2020 interview withL'Équipe,Bublik also stated that he lamented the sport and the financial incentives were what kept him going: "If there was no money, I would stop playing tennis instantly. I haven’t earned enough money; in any other case I would have already retired."[100][101]However, in 2022, he contradicted these statements, saying for Good Morning Tennis that "over time, and it's been three years since that interview, things have changed a lot and [I] love playing tennis now because [I] realized that's what [I] wanted to do as a kid".[102]

Controversy[edit]

In the2023 US Open,Bublik was defeated in first round by former US Open championDominic Thiemin straight sets. However, Bublik's lack of sportsmanship was heavily criticized by the tennis community and fans. Bublik was recorded on television uttering in Russian, "I am sick of giving careers back to disabled people", an apparent reference to Thiem's recent recovery from injuries. This was later condemned by fellow tennis playerNick Kyrgiosas "horrible".[103][104]Throughout the game, Bublik also received code violation after smashing his racket, he then proceeded to question his team why he kept losing, and said he no longer wanted to travel to the US Open.[105]

Nationality change[edit]

In November 2016, Bublik changed his allegiance from that of his home country of Russia’s federation to the tennis federation ofKazakhstanin search of better financial support from the national tennis federation.

Bublik joined several other players by switching to playing for Kazakhstan, explaining:

As hurtful as it may sound, nobody cared about me in Russia. And now people care about me. And they do everything for my career to be successful. That's the most important thing!Kazakhstan Tennis Federation– they really look after me. They help, work, create the conditions for me to play well. It was impossible in Russia. There is also a wonderful tennis center inAstana.I don’t know how to describe it in words. But it's awesome. Since we have already made a decision to play for Kazakhstan, I am never going back to the Russian team [likeKsenia Pervak[106]]. I am not going back.[107]

Personal life[edit]

Bublik and his wife Tatiyana Bublik had their first child, a son, Vasily, in 2022.[108][109]

In 2023, Bublik was named as a reserve member of the Levitov Chess Wizards team in theProfessional Rapid Online Chess League.[110]
