Russian tennis player Andrei Rublev commenting on the Spaniard’s defeat in the final match of the ATP tournament Carlos Alcaraz declared himself disappointed with the end of the season and also spoke about the condition of his knee, which he bloodied during the match.
Rublev lost to Alcaraz on Wednesday in the Red Group match with a score of 5:7, 2:6. At the start of the second set, after losing a point, the Russian hit his left leg several times with his racket.
– How is my knee? Everything is fine. Nothing happened.
Of course, we always want to end the year well. Sometimes we’re disappointed when it doesn’t happen. So today it turned out that I was disappointed and couldn’t get through it.
— Which is more difficult: losing to a close friend or any other player? Or is there no difference?
– No difference. If you don’t like losing, it doesn’t matter who your opponent is,” Rublev said at a press conference.
Rublev had already lost to his compatriot Daniil Medvedev on two networks. In the third round, the Russian will face the German Alexander Zverev.
— Meeting with Zverev? To be honest, I’m not expecting anything at the moment. This will be the last match. At least I will try to do something better than in the previous two matches. “I will try to at least finish well,” added the Russian.
The final of the ATP tournament takes place in Turin (Italy).
