April 27, 2024, Madrid During the ATP Madrid event, Spanish tennis player Roberto Carballes Baena played Alexander Bublik of Kazakhstan in an exciting match. The encounter was characterized by intense tension and a breath-taking moment for the onlookers.
Carballes Baena found himself on the defensive in the second set when the score was tied. Known for his forceful serves and aggressive style of play, Bublik never gave up on winning. However, it seems that Bublik got under the nerves of the Spaniard also mimicking his grunt and executing strange shots.
Roberto Carballes Baena couldn’t hold his nerves and he curiously tried to hit his opponent twice when serving. The result was hilarious, with Bublik also smiling and circling the sign left by the second serve.
