The level of play allows the Russian tennis player Andrei Rublev compete for the title at the Grand Slam tournament, despite the fact that after ten attempts he failed to break the barrier of the ¼ finals, said Honored Coach of Russian Tennis Anatoly Abashkin.
Rublev lost to Italian Jannik Sinner in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open 2024 with a score of 4:6, 6:7 (5:7), 3:6. The Russian has never reached the semi-finals of a Grand Slam tournament, and for Rublev, 26, it was his tenth quarter-final defeat.
— Tennis is a game between two opponents, and here one should not rely on statistics or psychology. Andrey is a top player, he can be a contender for victory in any Grand Slam tournament, it turns out that he cannot yet go beyond the quarterfinal stage. It is possible that after ten consecutive defeats, it will be followed by ten consecutive victories. Therefore, he is quite capable of not only passing the quarterfinals, but also competing for the title at the Helmets. His sportsmanship and character allow this,” Abashkin told Gazeta.ru.
Rublev is ranked fifth in the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) rankings.
