After the situation, Rublev was awarded a warning by the referee.
– It’s not about what you say. It’s about it being very aggressive, the referee is heard saying to the world number seven.
Rublev lost the ball and thus opponent Hubert Hurkacz had match point.
Rublev still managed to take the match to a deciding tie break, where he fell and reacted strongly by hitting himself with the tennis racket repeatedly.
– It was a really tough match, especially emotionally. It’s a big competition and I’m very happy now, says Hurkacz, who won his seventh title on the ATP tour.
