Athletistic/Tennis. The fifth racket in the world, Russian tennis player Andrey Rublev, shared his emotions after his defeat against German Alexander Zverev in the match of the 3rd round of the group stage of the 2023 ATP Final Tournament.
“Of course, I wanted to beat Zverev. And I played well, in principle, it seems to me, I played even better. I did a lot and my mood was better than usual. But that s It turned out to be a classic finish, just like in the first two matches, I didn’t switch off, I just didn’t give in at the right time.
In the first set, with a score of 4:4, it seemed to me that I had very few first serves: only two, and all the others came from the second. Of course, in moments like this, when you feel pressure and you haven’t served your first serve yet, it’s more difficult to play. As a result, I lost my service,” Rublev said on the YouTube channel “Bolshe!”.
Andrey Rublev at the final ATP tournament in Turin in 2023 lost all three matches in the group stage: first he lost to his compatriot Daniil Medvedev, then to the Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz and, finally, he s turned out to be weaker than Alexander Zverev.
