'I said okay, lets go to Vegas': Alexander Bublik brutally honest after reaching the French Open last 16

Alexander Bublik has spoken out after defeating Henrique Rocha in straight sets to reach the French Open last 16 during Saturday's action at Roland Garros. In a dominant display, Bublik won 7-5, 6-1, 6-2 to defeat Rocha.

After battling back from two sets down in his last 64 match against Alex De Minaur, there was no signs of fatigue in the fixture against his Portuguese counterpart as the world No. 62 dispatched his opponent with relative ease in the last 32 match. 

Speaking to the media after his triumph in the round of 32, Bublik revealed a factor which has helped him overcome total burnout after dropping down the rankings in recently.

"I got to the point, like, okay, why am I sacrificing so much? For what? Then it was the other way around. I am 80th in the world," Bublik said, via tennis.com.

"My coach suggests a trip to Vegas in between Indian Wells and Phoenix. He's like, man if you play like this, we're just going to be out of Tennis, out of the conversation by Wimbledon because that's where my points are".
