In the interview with “Match TV” Andrey Rublev shared his expectations from the performance in the Final ATP Championship, which will be held from 15 to 22 November in London.

Of course, I’m madly worried a week before the competition. I don’t want to be a tourist, I want to show that it was not by accident that I got there.
