Good, hard-fought win for Hubert who's been in a slump since January. Hopefully it will give him some confidence and help get back to a higher level.
Hubert served quite intelligently in this match taking off from the speed and going more for the angles. He also used a lot of perfectly executed drop shots.
Rublev was his normal self - trying to run around and dictate with his FH but on this slower surface it wasn't enough to outgun Hubert who himself isn't the best chaser.
