Finland’s historic streak in the Davis Cup ended – Australia advanced to the final

Finlands historic streak in the Davis Cup ended Australia
Emil Ruusuvuori: “Yes, fitness was a question mark”

Finland’s Emil Ruusuvuori stated that Australia was better in the semi-final.

– There was nothing left to worry about. I can’t help but thank you for this trip and the number of people on the spot. It was really sweet to get on the field myself and experience this feeling, Ruusuvuori said.

He did not play in Tuesday’s quarterfinal match against Canada with a shoulder injury. Ruusuvuori said that his match was good.

– Yes, it (playing condition) was a question mark, but… things were done so well that I was able to play. We got the match right – I’m quite far from my best.

How much did the injury affect your pitching?

– Yes, it’s from those clubs (I saw it from the speeds of the serves). There weren’t many passes over 200 km/h. Against such a returner, they will all come back and then you will have problems, Ruusuvuori said.
