ATP – Stockholm > Rublev decides to speak: “I almost lost a testicle after the US Open. In five or six hours, I would have had to undergo an ablation”

“I was very close to having an amputation after the US Open”said Andrey Rublev during the Asian tour, without saying more.

At a press conference in Stockholm after his victory against Alexandre Muller in the round of 16 (6−4, 6–1), on 7^e world has decided to reveal everything. And with a smile.

“Today I feel perfectly well, everything went well. I don’t know how to say it in a smart way, so I’ll say it in a funny way. I almost lost a ball (laughs). I was very lucky because they say there are only five or six hours left if the blood stops circulating there. I don’t know why I said, ‘Let’s go to the hospital and see, because I have a funny feeling.’ I was operated on in three or four hours. Everything went well. The last thing I did before they put me to sleep was sign a paper authorizing the removal of my testicle. So that was the last thing I saw before the operation. »
