Bublik it`s so funny man but unfortunettly he isn`t a mentality of great champion... Yesterday, from the second set on, he behaved like a circus clown, not a serious tennis player and he was celebrating after winning only three games in 3 sets... It's hard to take someone like that seriously. It was a match between a cold professional: Sinner and a joyful child – Bublik, who made silly faces, jumped, laughed, talked to himself, etc.

@copravolleyWell, he was a complete underdog so that was his way to handle the situation IMO. Still managed better than Wimbledon where he was supposed to be a dark horse and faceplanted right out of the gate.

In my opinion, after such a defeat, even at the age of 17-18 Sinner, for example, would have been very angry, he would have quickly shaken hands and left the court, instead of celebrating his defeat, like Bublik.

Not everyone has Bublik's class and sportsmanship.

Sinner is closed and cold people, but that usually helps him. Federer also hasn't exactly shown much emotion on the court either. They both come from similar parts of Europe, from mountainous regions, so that's not surprising. Djokovic, is from the Balkans, is very impulsive, but he's also unlikely to celebrate embarrassing defeats like Bublik.

A historic moment, as for the first time there will be an all-Bulgarian GS final.   Ivan Ivanov and Aleksandar Vasilev made the Boys singles final. They already could have done this 2 months ago, but Vasilev lost the 1/2 at Wimbledon, while Ivanov went to win the title. So this is going to be a second consecutive boys GS title for  .

Reacting publicly like that sounds more like kind of a sore loser. You often see the same in darts: if someone is just being destroyed, which can happen, a small victory like a leg won (or a game, in tennis) is 'celebrated'. Obviously they're not actually super happy about winning it, but if you're being destroyed despite trying, you gotta make what you can out of it. Better go down with a smile and go for it again next time, then just get all mad (for some people at least, it really depends on what gives you strength, for some that is anger, for others that is feeling happy or simply being able to accept what happens).
