Holger Rune and Andrey Rublev used rock, paper, scissors before a practice session in Rome to decide who would serve first. The two players had some issues coordinating their effort, however, with the Russian twice showing his hand while Rune was still counting to three. They finally managed to get it right on their third attempt.
This is not the first time recently that Rublev has played the game before the start of a match or a practice. In Madrid, he and Stanislas Wawrinka decided to use it before their second-round match, after the event’s digital coin-toss created confusion.
