The Russian Andrey Rublevexecutioner of Carlos Alcaraz At the Masters 1000 in Madrid, he was recognized for the high level of play he showed and the great concentration he was with throughout the match.
Rublev, the seventh seed, usually loses concentration throughout the match. However, against the champion of the last two editions he had no emotional ups and downs.
“Yes, I don’t know why. I don’t have the strength or energy except to concentrate on the game. I don’t have the energy to complain,” said the Muscovite who reached the semifinals in Madrid for the first time.
“I feel great. Very tired. It’s normal. I have a day off today to be one hundred percent for the semi-final and we’ll see. It was an incredible match, in a spectacular atmosphere and I enjoyed a lot in a whole stadium though it helped Carlos”Rublev checked.
The serve was crucial for the Russian to overcome the setbacks Alcaraz put him through to balance the situation. “The last two games I served better and that helps a lot when you win the games. They got free points thanks to the serve. Now, my serve is also very good. At first I didn’t serve well but then .I calmed down and started playing better. In the end, I feel that I can serve in any direction.
Despite the silence he made himself during the game, Rublev He argued with the referee when he requested a review that was not granted for erasing the court mark. “For me, it’s strange. I said I want a review and I asked for it and they should show it. It’s my decision what to do with the mark if I want to clean it or not. I cleaned it and asked for a review. I asked because then I cleaned while waiting. “Then he told me it was not possible. I told the referee to at least explain before the game. In the end it’s just a misunderstanding,” he said.
Rublev He came to Madrid on a four-game losing streak and now has a four-game winning streak. “I was clinging to a feeling only that I was training well. Tennis gives you a tournament every week. The good thing here is that a good week allows you to forget all the previous bad things. You can go from nothing to everything and everything to nothing in the blink of an eye. “This sport is a roller coaster.”
“I don’t know the true value of this victory and what it means for my season but this week means a lot. It doesn’t matter what happens in the semi-final. For sure it’s been a positive week for me with good tennis, because I played good tennis from the first game,” he concluded.
