Out! Rublev suffers 0:3 defeat against teenager
Andrei Rublev, the number nine tennis player in the world, has been knocked out in the first round of the Australian Open. The Russian was beaten 6:7(1), 3:6 and 6:7(5) by 18-year-old Joao Fonseca on Tuesday. This makes the Brazilian the youngest player ever to defeat a top 10 player at a Grand Slam tournament.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen Fonseca was not impressed by his opponent, remained cool at all times and saved himself in the first set in the tie-break, which he also clearly won. Rublev, on the other hand, faltered more and more and the second set also went to the young South American.
When the third set also went to a tie-break, Fonesca showed nerves of steel and took a 3:0 lead thanks to a mini-break. In the end, he defeated the 27-year-old 7:6(1), 6:3 and 7:6(5) and will play the Italian Lorenzo Sonego on Thursday.
