Russian tennis player Andrei Rublev said he was happy to return to the Wimbledon tournament, and also pointed out that at the end of the second set of the first round match against Australian Max Purcell he had managed to pull himself together.
On Monday, Rublev, who received the seventh seed, beat Purcell – 6:3, 7:5, 6:4. In the second set, the Russian lost with the score 2:5, but managed to win five games in a row.
– Very happy to be back. You always want to win in three sets, but it’s not easy. In the second I lost 2-5 and was lucky to be able to come back, because in my head I was already preparing for the third set. I made good shots and I played very well at the end. To play here with full stands at 11 a.m. is a special feeling,” Rublev told the ATP website.
In the second round, the seventh racket in the world will meet the winner of the match Aslan Karatsev (Russia) – Lucas van Asch (France).
