Rublev Overcomes Adaptation Difficulties to Win at Estoril Open

Andrey Rublev, the top seed and world No. 14, defeated Kazakhstan's Timofey Skatov 6-1, 6-1 in 59 minutes to advance to the quarterfinals of the Estoril Open. Rublev admitted he struggled initially to adapt to the windy, high-bouncing conditions at the Estoril Tennis Club, which differed greatly from the Bastad tournament where he won his 18th title. He noted the ball bounced high, requiring shots above the head, unlike the waist-level play in Bastad. Rublev will next face Frenchman Luca van Assche, who eliminated former champion Pablo Carreño Busta. Rublev emphasized his goal is to enjoy and live life, not necessarily to win consecutive tournaments.
