WATCH: Bublik pulls off tweener-smash hot shot combo

Christian Harrison wasn't prepared for this 1-2 punch against him

Published Sep 21, 2017

Alexander Bublik has been on fire this season with epic hot shots aplenty. He continued the trend at the Binghampton ATP Challenger earlier this summer against Christian Harrison. The Kazakh threw a tweener towards his opponent before sending a smash at the net-stranded Harrison.

He would lose that quarterfinal contest. But, Bublik has a lot of tricks up his sleeve, which he showed off back in August during a medical timeout in Aptos.

The 20-year-old ha won two ATP Challenger crowns this year (including Aptos), and just cracked the Top 100 at No. 97.
