Sensational start of Wimbledon
The English Open tennis championship, known as Wimbledon, started with an unexpected result. Russian No. 2 Andriy Rublev, who is ranked sixth in the ATP world rankings, sensationally lost in the first round to Argentina's Francisco Comesanje, who is ranked 122nd in the world.
Tense match
The match ended with the score 4:6, 7:5, 2:6, 6:7 (5) in favor of Komesanje. The first set was difficult for Rublev, but he managed to pull himself together and win the second set with a score of 7:5. However, the third set was a real test for the Russian tennis player.
Rublev's nervous breakdown
With the score 1:3 in the third set, Rublev made a very inaccurate shot, which led to a nervous breakdown. The tennis player started hitting his knee with a racket, shouting something at the stands. The cameras recorded that blood appeared on Rublev's knee after this incident.
Reaction of fans
Russian fans were shocked by the behavior of their compatriot. In comments on various platforms, they expressed their indignation, calling it "hysterical".
"This is unacceptable for a professional athlete. Rublev should control his emotions," one user noted.
What's next for Rublev?
This defeat casts doubt on Rublev's further prospects at major tournaments. His behavior on the court could affect his reputation and relationship with fans. Now it is important that the tennis player focuses on his psychological preparation and returns to the game with new forces.
Comesanier - a new star?
For Francisco Comesanje, this victory was a great achievement. The Argentinian showed incredible resilience and skill, which could make him one of the main sensations of this tournament. The following matches will show whether he can consolidate his success and continue the winning streak.
Results and forecasts
This match reminded that everything is possible in sports, and even the favorites can lose. For Rublev, this is an important lesson that should help him become stronger. And for Komesanye, this is a chance to show himself on the big stage and gain recognition.
