Andrey Rublev appreciated the victory over Alejandro Davidovich-Fokina in Madrid.
In the tiebreaker of the first game, he was behind 0:5 and had five set points. As a result, he won 7:6 (10), 6:4 in 2 hours 4 minutes.
– I was very lucky that we ended up winning the first set. All matches against Davidovich are the same plus or minus. I`m losing in the score, winning back set points, breaks - all our matches were so difficult. Today, at 5:0 [in the tiebreaker], I thought: Well, it’s impossible that the fifth or tenth time I’ll come back like that. In the end it worked out (laughs).
– Today, yes, it was a good match in the end.
– I agree 100%. Because of the altitude, it is not always easy to dictate terms. You are not as in control of the situation as you would normally be. Every shot has a little more risk than you`re used to. Especially when the score is important, there is excitement, and it’s even harder to dictate terms. And confidence for dictation drops, ” Rublev said in an interview with Sofia Tartakova for the channel More!
