Russian tennis player Andrey Rublev told Match TV that he believed in his ability to win the match against Holger Rune of Denmark until the very end.
Rublev defeated Rune 5-7, 6-2, 7-5 in the final match of the Masters Series tournament in Monte Carlo on April 14, losing 1-4 in the third set.
Andrey Rublev
I'm happy. I fought to win this damn Masters, finally I did it. Lost 1-4 in the third set, I had no chance of winning, but somehow I did it. I hoped, deep down inside, that maybe I'd have at least one chance to rebound. Today I believed in it until the end.
The winner had five aces and six break points from 19 sets. Rune had six aces and nine double faults. The game time was 2 hours and 36 minutes.
It should be noted that Rublev won a Masters Series tournament for the first time in his career. Recall, the tournament in Monte-Carlo was held from April 9 to 16. The prize fund is 5 million 779 thousand dollars.
