After the game, the German collapsed in the press room. “This is my worst game in the last five, six, seven years“, He commented between tears, to recognize later that playing like this he could not compete against anyone.Rune was a great player, but now he has lost to anyone.“.
“I would like to apologize to all the fans who attended the game today. I can’t play even one game well. I have no reasonNot the fault of my physical trainer or my coach. Finding the culprits outside is from someone who is not very smart, ”he continued.
In the quarterfinals, Rune will face Finn Emil Ruussuvuori, who defeated American Maxime Cressy 6-3, 6-3. For its part, Zverev can now start thinking about the next event: the Mutua Madrid Open that starts this Sunday at Caja Mágica.
