Andrey Rublev often has a volcanic temperament on the court and the Russian demonstrated it once again on the night from Friday to Saturday when he faced the German Tomas Machac. As the 60th player in the world prepared to serve to win by leading 6-4, 5-4, Rublev simply began to put his things in his bag. As if he thought that the match, ultimately won by his opponent, was a foregone conclusion. A strange attitude for a competitor of this level even if the superiority of Machac (who saved two break points in the match) over the match was in no doubt.
