Alexander Bublik, after defeating the home favorite Roberto Carballes Baena, expressed his emotions in a rather unconventional manner. In a gesture that caught everyone’s attention, Bublik blew kisses to the Spanish crowd. This act was provocative, given the context of the match and the audience’s loyalty to their local player.
Here is the video.
