Russian Andrey Rublev's diving skills are becoming a theme at this year's Wimbledon after another spectacular flight across the lawns during his fourth-round victory on Sunday.
The 25-year-old set up match point in a five-set thriller against Alexander Bublik with a gravity-defying lunge to somehow return a backhand piledriver by his mercurial opponent.
One point later it was all over as Rublev reached the quarter-final of a Grand Slam for the eighth time. "The feeling that at least I have one amazing point in my career," Rublev said when asked about the shot after his 7-5 6-3 6-7 6-7 6-4 victory.
