UTS Chairman and Founder Patrick Mouratoglou sits down with Nick Kyrgios (King Kyrgios) and Alexander Bublik (The Bublik Enemy) ahead of UTS New York this August.
This seventh episode of iconic show "All on the Table" was taped in London, just near Hyde Park, in the meticulously designed space of the bar and restaurant The Aubrey, at the Mandarin Oriental.
The trio dive into everything to do with tennis. From their worse losses, to Kyrgios not warming up and Bublik hating people being late, getting a behind the scenes look at tennis from their perspective. As usual, it's a fascinating chat, where Djokovic, Nadal, Medvedev, Serena, Rune, Wawrinka, Murray, Monfils, but also Roberto Carballés Baena and Paul Jubb happen to be part of the conversation.
