Vice-President of the Russian Tennis Federation (RFF) Alexey Selivanenko believes that Andrei Rublev lost in the final of the Masters series tournament in Shanghai due to a momentary loss of concentration.
Rublev lost to Pole Hubert Hurkacz with a score of 3:6, 6:3, 6:7 (8:10).
“It was an excellent final and beautiful, powerful tennis played by some of the tour leaders. Rublev was one goal away from winning the tournament. But tennis is tennis, and this is the case when a second loss of concentration can decide the outcome of the final. Well, of course, we need to note Hurkacz’s performance. Hubert once again confirmed that it’s not for nothing that he is one of the leaders of the tour in terms of the number of innings thrown through the air,” “Championship” quotes Selivanenko as saying.
