The rivals’ match ended with a score of 6:1, 6:7 (5:7), 6:3.
“The match was very tough. To be honest, I was lucky to win some great rallies in the first set, to have an early break. That gave me confidence. When you are one set down winning is easier to play.

In the second game, Zverev started to serve better. I had a chance to catch a break, but I was unlucky. And then the classic tie-break, which I did well.
In the third set, I managed to get off to a good start and take his serve early. Then there were a few break points, the last game was dramatic, but I think I played well,” Rublev is quoted in the ATP press service.
