Entertaining match. Rublev is going to be scary good if he can develop his backhand.

I think the nerves got to Rublev in the same way that they got to Shapo, Dimitrov was not playing very well and Rublev should have at least forced a fifth and deciding set, alas it was not meant to be. Rublev is going to be a top 10 player for sure though.
