Andriy Rublev missed a match point in the final against Hubert Gurkach

Andriy Rublev lost his second career Masters 1000 title after being beaten by Poland’s Hubert Gurkach in the Shanghai final.

Although he came back very well in the second set, which he won 6-3, the Russian had several moments of wandering throughout the game and even missed a match point at 6-5.

At the end of the dispute, Rublev tried to find an explanation for the failure, and also discussed the possibility of performing at the Tournament of Champions, which will be held in Turin.

“I had a few bad moments today, but I think overall I was able to manage my emotions a lot better, so I think I was able to win the second set and have a chance in the third. In the third set, I think I had good chances, but everything was decided by the little things, in all those moments Huby was serving at an impressive level, there was nothing I could do.

At the end of the season I don’t have any expectations, I just want to keep training, give my best every day to be able to qualify for Turin and then we’ll see what we can do. I have two more tournaments, but if I tell you the goal, yes, it is to qualify for Turin. I hope I can play at a high level in Vienna and Paris and then we’ll see if I can make it to Turin and then I’ll play another tournament.” – said Rublev, reports Eurosport.
