Fernando Vicente, coach of Russian tennis player Andrei Rublev, said that Russians are still hungry for the level they have reached and the titles they have won; they are always motivated to win.
— We felt that this year Andrei had improved in terms of psychology, didn’t we?
— It was better, but there are still things that are not easy. These guys are from Russia, they have a different mentality. They think that if you are number four in the world rankings, now you have to be even better… And no matter what they achieve, it will never be enough. Sometimes it’s good, because all great players are a bit like that. But on an emotional level, you have to understand that they all deal with emotions. Andrey sometimes does not experience real pleasure. For him, tennis is everything,” Vicente said in an interview with Tennis Majors.
Rublev, 26, has 14 victories in ATP tournaments. The athlete occupies fifth place in the ranking of the Association of Professional Tennis Players.
