Alexander Bublik doesn't want to waste any strength

The great Horst Skoff is known to have given the rather uneasy audience the following in Monte Carlo's match against Yannick Noah in 1987: “The more you whistle the better I play.” The no less great Radek Stepanek has this wisdom of the Carinthian who died much too early on Friday evening added another one to "Kasi Live": "The less I play the less I miss it."

He has just picked up the bat four times in the last four months, according to Stepanek in conversation with Sascha Bajin, who had moderated Christopher Kas. And the Czech doesn't miss the job on the court, which he also did as a coach for Novak Djokovic and Grigor Dimitrov after his active career. Instead, he can now take care of his little daughter and dear wife Nicole Vaidisova at home in Prague.

Bajin and Copil as bus drivers in Munich

Alexander Bublik is also stuck at home, although without a child (but at least with a girlfriend). The Kazakh last year asked Dominic Thiem everything in Roland Garros, drove the finalists in round two to a fifth set. However, Bublik wanted to be so honest that he would always prefer a walkover victory to a triumph in five sets. Well, it is known that neither one nor the other worked against Thiem.

With Marius Copil, like Radek Stepanek, Sascha Bajin finally warmed up old memories from days spent together in Munich. There, Copil and Bajin grabbed the coach Nic Marschand's minibus, stopped at the regular bus station of the Munich public transport company and warned unsuspecting passengers that public transport was not working and that they should get on their bus. In the best German, of course: the Romanian Copil learned this language in his school days.
