Although he couldn't win his match this afternoon against Matteo Berrettini, the truth is that more than one person was impressed by the level of tennis that Juri Rodionov displayed in Bologna while representing his country at the Davis Cup Finals 2025. The Austrian ended up losing in two sets, but at no point did he seem like the #177 in the ATP rankings. Then, during the press conference, he was asked about the matter, and the response was memorable.
“I've been asked this question since I was 18, honestly. I think many people who watch me play these types of matches ask the same question; the thing is, they only see me play one match. If you watch me play 30 matches, then you'll find the answer (laughs). It's something I've been striving for; I want to be more consistent throughout the year. I believe I have all the tools I need to improve my ranking," said the 26-year-old after falling 6-3, 7-6.
