Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios called Russian action madness Andrei Rublev who smashed his knee with a racket during a group match of the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) final tournament with a Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz .
The second round meeting of the Red Group took place on Wednesday in Turin. Rublev lost the first set with a score of 5:7, and already at the opening of the second match, after another mistake, he hit his left leg with his racket several times, breaking his knee and bleeding. As a result, the match ended with the victory of Alcaraz with a score of 7:5, 6:2, Rublev lost his chance to reach the semifinals of the tournament.
“For someone who keeps their cool, like me…” jokes Kyrgios on The Tennis Channel. – This is madness. To be honest, I’ve never done that. Boy, you still need that knee, you gotta move around the field somehow! I hope he can come to his senses.
The 2023 ATP Finals will take place from November 12 to 19. The winner could win more than $4.8 million. Last year the tournament was won by Serbian Novak Djokovic.
