Rublev is a frequent tennis player, so it was strange that he hadn’t been spotted on the courts since his previous match at the US Open. He usually plays whenever he gets the chance, but recently he hasn’t, and some have questioned why. When he eventually got back to the action in Beijing, he explained why. Rublev defeated fellow seasoned professional Pablo Carreno Busta in three sets, despite the fact that the match was difficult. Rublev won the first set 6-0 but lost the second and won the third, making the match very interesting. The Russian prevailed despite the fact that the match was more like any other tennis match, including ups and downs.
