Tennis: sick and “anesthetized toe”, says Rublev after his title in Madrid

“I've been sick for eight or nine days and it's not really getting better. It's not normal, usually when I'm sick it lasts two or three days. This is the first time I feel so bad in my life,” Rublev revealed at a press conference. “I think I'm going to go to the hospital tomorrow (Monday). I don't know exactly what it is, if it's sore throat, a virus, but my throat is completely blocked. For nine days, it’s been impossible to swallow, it’s been impossible to eat and I’ve had a huge headache,” he described.

Add to that a sore toe. “I had inflammation and my toe doubled in size. With the pressure it put on the bone, I couldn't even put my foot in my shoe. The feeling is comparable to when it's broken, I guess. That’s why they anesthetized my toe, so that I wouldn’t feel it,” said the 26-year-old Russian. He explained that he managed to prevail in these conditions “thanks to painkiller (medications) and injections, at maximum doses. I'm full of medicine.

“I'm really happy to have been able to perform well in all my matches. I showed a great level of play since my first match, and finally, I was titled. And it’s as if the last few weeks had never existed,” said Rublev, who had four consecutive defeats upon his arrival in the Spanish capital.
