Casper to Andrey: "Congratulations, great week, you're a very tough competitor, but also a very nice guy, v. funny, always respectful to your opponents even though you hit all the fucking lines today. Not so respectful to me. But it's OK."
Andrey Rublev sealed the title at Bastad Open defeating Casper Ruud in the final with both in superb form over the week.
As well as in the post match interviews with both sharing hilarious jibes as well as having an interesting end regarding a bottle of champagne.
"Congratulations, great week, you're a very tough competitor, but also a very nice guy, very funny, always respectful to your opponents even though you hit all the f***ing lines today," said Ruud.
"Not so respectful to me. But it's OK."
Rublev smiling replied amusingly: "I wasn't really motivated to play today. All the referees said for sure, you're not gonna play today most likely, no chance… then they said it looks like maybe we're gonna start at 2. I went to lunch!"
But then he gained ultimate revenge by spraying Ruud with champagne as well as the cameramen and ball kids. Hilarious end to the tournament.
