The meeting turned out to be dramatic. The opponents spent 3 hours and 38 minutes on the pitch. The final score is 6:3, 3:6, 6:3, 4:6, 7:6 (11:9). In the fifth set, Rublev played two match points. And on the super tie-break it was less than 0:5. Nevertheless, the representative of Russia managed to snatch victory. Also, in the last draw, the ball sank into Rune’s half court, hitting the net.
Rublev’s next Australian Open rival has been determined
“The result was a movie – not a romance, but a horror movie. Rublev won the first set quite comfortably. Then there was an early break, but Rublev could still win the second set. In the fourth set, there is a serve for the match and two double faults occur match level, where two world top 10 players are playing.
In the fifth set, the break points immediately went. Rublev miraculously bounced back from 0:40, but Rune still broke – 5:2. It would seem that everything – take the game. But Rublev came back. On a tie-break 0:5 – such an advantage! Rune gave his match, his game. Fifth set Rune was forced to win. I don’t know how he lost it.
There was a kind of match ball ball. Just an unreal snot zasandalil. I can not explain it. It happens once a year, even once in a lifetime. If a rally had happened on the match point, then Rune would have done anything to win that ball. There were a lot of unforced errors in this game,” Chesnokov said as quoted by ‘Championship’.
