The Russian Andrey Rublev declared his resignation on Wednesday, after his defeat in the ATP Finals, that of the Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz “When he plays like that” he is practically unstoppable.
Rublev, who played a good match despite losing two sets (6-3 and 7-6(8)), succumbed to the level of the Murcian, who returned to play affected by a cold he had been carrying for several days.
“Of all the games we have played, today they played at the best level, even if we take our game last year here and our game in Madrid. Today they played at the best level,” he said in a press conference.
The Russian highlighted Alcaraz’s good serve: “Even with the serve. Normally he does it a lot with a lot of effect. Today he served flat and made a high percentage of first serves.”
“He played very well. Nothing to say. When he plays like that, there is only, I don’t know, one or two players who can stop him…”, he said with a smile.
His chances of staying alive in this ATP Finals depend on the German Alexander Zverev beat the norwegian Casper Ruud in two sets.
