The theoretical arguments of the paper commented contain errors and cannot explain the simulation results. We suggest that line tension and adsorptions at interfaces may be responsible for a difference in the contact angle size dependencies for droplets and bubbles.

Bubbles show size-dependent wetting behaviors and contact angles for small bubbles are no longer supplementary to those of droplets.

In this Reply, we clarify the rationale behind our conclusions and point out that in their derivation Rusanov et al. failed to consider the difference between bubbles and droplets.
