text: Dubai QF: Evans def. Rublev 6-2 7-6(9) | Page 2 | Mens Tennis Forums
  happy dan managed to pull out that 2nd set because i doubt very much he'd have won a 3rd.
  rublev is extremely one dimensional. just not impressed at all. much like shapovalov he can hit the ball hard but if he's made to think like he was today he cant cope. dan would have won easier if not for his own mental demons
  Evans saved like 10 BP's before getting broken. Rublev had a play at like 6 straight return games.
  If Evans had been anything less than stellar mentally, Rublev would have won.
  Nice job Dan the Man! Now do a few bumps to celebrate!
  Yep , I would not go as far as that because none here is painting Ruvlev to be the top player quite yet. Hes not even close. 250 are overrated in top tennis debate indeed. And Ruvlev lost to an equally peer peak level krajinovic and match up nightmare evans. Ruvlev was "supposed" to win here Instead he got exposed as not being able to adjust (as poninted one dimentional and scared) thats the bad news, but even in that case he was damn close to win! Thats the good news for him
  That's a hell of a win. Would love him to make the final and he'd have a shot against Struff as well.
  Couldn't agree more, Rublev needs to add more to his game such as a slice and a decent net game cause he has neither atm. His backhand isn't bad but isn't good enough to compete with the very best.
  No fear by Michael Mmoh. He was out playing on public courts this weekend and looking sharp. The power of tennis love prevails. https://www.tennis-prose.com/bios/close-encounter-with-michael-mmoh-on-longboat-key/
