In the first round, Rublev lost to his compatriot Daniil Medvedev.

But Zverev also has motivation, he still has a chance to reach the semi-finals – if he wins in straight sets against Rublev and the match between Alcaraz and Medvedev drags on.
Since Rublev and Medvedev are very good close friends, I hope Danya motivates him. It will be a very interesting day, it will be interesting to follow the outcome of these meetings. There is still some intrigue as to who will be the second semi-finalist in this group,” Petrova said, as quoted by Gazeta.ru.
