Andrey Rublev shares his experience in the second round of the Montreal tournament, where he overcame losing the first set to win the match. He notes that the conditions were different from practice and that his Etcheverry served powerfully, causing him stress.
Despite this, Rublev remained calm and managed to break Etcheverry, feeling relief after winning the first set. In preparation for the tournament, Rublev took time off to mentally recover from a disappointing season and focused on playing ATP 250s to get ready for Montreal. Reflecting on his year, Rublev characterizes it as having both highs and lows, with his victory in Madrid being the highlight. Looking ahead, he plans to improve by playing more freely in his next match.
