The Celts got off to a great start in the playoffs, as they first knocked out Philadelphia and then showed class in the series against Toronto. There was such an impression that Brad Stevens’ wards simply cannot be stopped, but problems began in the East finals. Boston met with Miami and immediately lost two matches in a row, which hit hard the players’ self-esteem. The team did not expect the situation to change so dramatically, so in the third match the club gathered all its strength into a fist and issued a victory (117:106). The Celtics were supposed to squeeze the opponents in the last confrontation, though they failed, because the Lights were stronger for the third time (109:112).
The upcoming rival is also constantly progressing. Andrei Rublev, who is currently on the 14-th line of the overall ATP standings after a forced pause, played one more official tournament than Roberto. The Cincinnati Masters turned out to be a failure, but at the US Open 2020 the Russian reached the quarterfinals, where he lost to compatriot Medvedev in tie-breaks. The transition to the ground and the move to Europe turned out smoothly, but not the most successfully. A native of Moscow won only one match in Rome, saying goodbye to Italy in the 1/16 finals, losing in 3 sets to Gurkach. As for the current competitions in Germany, Rublev’s situation resembles the results of Bautista-Agut. He got a confident 2:0 victory over Sandgren and victory in 3 games over Tommy Paul.
