The World Tennis League in Abu Dhabi drew to a close, with the Falcons team (Rublev, Shapovalov, Rybakina and Garcia) crowned champions at the third edition of the exhibition on Sunday.
After the celebration of this symbolic victory, Andrey Rublev, who was decisive in the final, was interviewed on court.
And the Russian was asked: "Are these the great moments you play tennis for?" (see video below).
A question which obviously seems exaggerated, given that it was just a simple victory in an exhibition match.
Visibly embarrassed, Rublev answered honestly: "It's not for such a moment that I play tennis. I decided to play tennis to play in the big tournaments."
