Andre Rublev breezed past Peruvian tennis player Juan Pablo Varillas for a place in the quarter-finals.
\nRublev defeated Varillas with 2:0.
\nAlthough Rublev outscored Varillas easily enough, the Russian player was humble in his comments on
\nthe match.
\n"I\u2019ve been making progress every day and I hope I\u2019m heading in the right direction. Your team is very
\nimportant, you have to talk to them, to be sincere with yourself and always look for solutions. It is
\nimportant to avoid self-deception, be sincere with yourself and your team. And work on that on a daily
\nbasis. If someone cuts you off in traffic, try to remain calm even when you\u2019re upset. The same rule can
\nbe applied on the tennis court\u201d, Rublev explained figuratively.
\nIn terms of matches and conditions at the Centre Court Rublev agreed with Novak Djokovic that
\nconditions were slow. Other tennis players seem to think the same.
\n"Tennis court is really slow. Maybe not the slowest I\u2019ve every played on but a bit slower than in Monte
\nCarlo. I would say that in the semi-finals, against Fritz, it was even slower because it was raining.
\nHowever, I like these conditions. It was excellent. I like to play in these conditions, when it\u2019s not too
\nwarm.
\nRublev arrived quickly from Monte Carlo to Banjaluka and he says he owes his gratitude to the
\ntournament director.
\n"I would like to express gratitude to Novak\u2019s brother, Djole. He helped me a lot on the journey from Nice
\nto Banjaluka. I didn\u2019t expect it and I would like to thank him. I had a day of rest on Monday, on Tuesday
\nI practiced a bit, on Wednesday a bit more and I played rather well today. I didn\u2019t expect such an easy
\nwin. Juan almost defeated Zverev at the Australian Open, he is dangerous and can play really good
\ntennis. I didn\u2019t expect everything to go my way today\u201d.
\nRublev\u2019s next opponent is Damir Dzumhur. It was interesting to hear who was better friend of Novak\u2019s,
\nhimself or Damir, namely who will give advice to whom..
\n– Novak doesn\u2019t need advice. He\u2019s the best in the world. When it comes to Damir and myself, we are
\nfriends, we practiced together many times. We\u2019ll see what happens\u201d, Rublev concluded with a smile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
