Russian tennis player Andrei Rublev said he was happy to reach the fourth round of the Australian Open and also congratulated his next opponent, Australian Alex de Minaur.
In the third round, Rublev, who received the fifth seed, defeated American Sebastian Korda (29) with a score of 6:2, 7:6 (8:6), 6:4. In the next round, the Russian will meet the 10th racket of the tournament, the Australian Alex de Minaur.
– I’m glad this year has started well. Happy to start with the title and be here in the fourth round. Let’s see what happens next. How can I hit the ball so hard? I would like to know that too. Each player has their own weapon. Sometimes strength alone is not enough. But I have many weaknesses and I need to improve them.
In the second set, in a difficult moment, I screamed because I felt like I was really tense. I gave free rein to my emotions. Then I played well, it was a turning point.
Next Australian match with Alex de Minaur? I’m sure the audience will enjoy the game. It’s normal that they support Alex, because he’s a great player and a good guy. I hope we will have a good match and the crowd will appreciate it,” Rublev said on the pitch.
