Athletistic/Tennis. Legendary Soviet tennis player and now popular sports commentator Anna Dmitrieva cited the reasons for the unsuccessful performance of Russian Andrei Rublev (5th racket in the world) at the ATP final tournament in Turin (Italy). The day before, November 15, he lost to the Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz in two sets.

“I thought about what happened to Rublev and why he could not restrain himself. Most likely, he was under a very heavy load and he was simply exhausted, tired. It happens. Andrei needed to rest before Itogov , but he played without He probably bet on a super task for the Turin tournament, which I was solving, but this caused a depressive state.

Now Rublev will rest, put himself in order and everything will be fine with him. Of course, the emotions of the matches came from fatigue. He couldn’t help it. He played both matches this way – with Medvedev in the second set and with Alcaraz. Apparently it really burned. Such a load on an excited body can have an effect,” Dmitrieva was quoted as saying by “Championship”.

Andrey Rublev lost his chance to reach the semi-finals of the 2023 ATP Finals tournament. He will play the final match in Turin on November 17 against German Alexander Zverev.
