Speaking following his victory, Rublev heaped praise on his opponent but insisted that he would do ‘everything’ in pursuit of victory.
‘First of all I want to say amazing match to Alex de Minaur,’ He said.
‘Two days ago, I said I hope we’re going to show a great match and spectators will enjoy. Now I have regrets about that!
‘I didn’t expect it to be that enjoyable. When I was losing two sets to one down, I told myself you’re going to die today but you will do everything. Then somehow I started to play better and better and I found more energy and I was able to win.”
