Russian star suffers nasty cut on knee after slipping on court

Andrey Rublev’s Argentina Open campaign came to a premature end on Friday after the Russian suffered a nasty cut to his knee in a fall during his quarterfinal clash against Francisco Cerundolo.

The incident occurred in the second set of the match, with Rublev leading 5-3. As he chased down a drop shot, the Russian slipped on the clay court and landed heavily on his right knee.

Rublev immediately called for the trainer and received medical attention on court. The cut was deep and required several stitches to close.

Rublev forced to retire from match

Cerundolo was awarded the victory and will now face Cameron Norrie in the semifinals.

The injury is a blow to Rublev’s season, as he was one of the favorites to win the Argentina Open.

The Russian has been in good form in recent months, reaching the semifinals of the Australian Open and winning the title in Dubai.

Rublev will now have to assess the extent of his injury and decide whether he will be able to compete in the upcoming Indian Wells and Miami Masters tournaments.
