Another person commented how Rublev’s statement was unacceptable since he aggressively attacked the line umpire with his abusive remark. This fan mentioned how lucky Rublev is to get his rankings and match points back after such unacceptable behavior.
No actual recognition or apology for your actions. Regardless of whether you said what you were accused of, you got in the line judges face quite aggressively, that is not ok.
For me, you are lucky to have the points and money back tbh

Didn't even acknowledge the incident he was defaulted for 😭😭
Crazy entitlement asking for ATP to have a look at the rule but taking no responsibility for his own actions or acknowledging what he did was wrong
