Despite now playing the event twice, Rublev is vocally not a big supporter of the innovative rules in Milan.
"Like I said always that I'm not a big fan of these rules. I think it's a little bit not fair because, in the end, everything make no sense," Rublev said about the short scoring sets. "Even if you play so you don't feel nothing today and the other guy is playing so good, you still can win the match, which is not happening normally when you play the real match."
Rublev is now playing a waiting game to see if he will advance to the semifinals, as it depends on how the Thursday night match between De Minaur and Fritz pans out.
