Anna Dmitrieva, multiple USSR tennis champion, told that the hysteria had upset her Andrei Rublev During matches, the Russian has to work with a psychologist on this problem.
This season, Rublev won the Monte Carlo Masters and the Båstad tournament and finished the year ranked fifth in the world. In total, the 26-year-old has 14 titles at ATP tournaments. The athlete more than once broke his rackets out of emotion after unsuccessful games.
— In your opinion, was this the best season of Andrei’s career? And what should he work on?
— In terms of results, he is probably the best, because he won the first Masters. He stopped at the quarter-finals of Grand Slam tournaments because he was unable to overtake those ahead of him in the rankings. People like Djokovic and Medvedev, who know how to play with Rublev. However, Andrei is tactically quite simple. And such savvy tennis players as Novak and Danya know how to divide Andrey.
At the same time, this year he lost his mind and literally threw tantrums on the field. That makes me sad. But he assures that it apparently doesn’t bother him… Who knows?… It seems to me that Andrei should work on this issue with a coach and a psychologist. After all, Danya Medvedev is also very emotionally excited, sometimes he can suddenly lash out, as they say, but he keeps himself more and more under control.
— So Andrey has to work on the psychology and trickery of the game?
– Maybe. He’s working on that. Andrey takes tennis very seriously and approaches each lesson and training session responsibly. I think it will be transformed to a certain extent in the new season,” Dmitrieva told .
