“Rublev, in a rage, crippled his hand on a racket. She was covered in blood.” Shapovalov – about the first meeting with the Russian
Canadian tennis player Denis Shapovalov said that during the first meeting with Andrei Rublev, he considered the Russian crazy.
Rublev (9th seed) defeated Shapovalov (19) on Saturday in the third round match of the US Open. The meeting lasted 4 hours 8 minutes and ended with the score 6:4, 2:6, 6:7 (3:7), 6:4, 7:6 (10:7).
– I first saw Rublev at a tournament in Canada, I did not participate then. At that time he was the best junior. I remember how he lost the first set and in a rage crippled his hand on the racket. She was covered in blood. I said, “God, this guy is crazy.”
It’s a shame to lose, but next time I’ll try to do better. Both of us were at a high level. A huge merit of Andrey, he fought very well and played amazingly. It was one of the best matches for both of us. Of course, it’s a shame to lose, playing so well, – quotes Shapovalov The Star.
