Young Rublev Beats Roger in Cincinnati
August 15, 2019 -- Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
Up and coming ATP Next Gen player, Andrey Rublev, caught Roger on an off day. The 20-time Grand Slam Champion was taken out swiftly as the Russian was in the zone and on fire. Roger lost 6-3, 6-4.
"He was super clean. Defense, offense, serving well," said Roger. "Didn't give me anything. He was everywhere. It was tough for me, but an excellent match by him."
Roger will have a week to re-set before heading to NYC for the 2019 US Open
