Recall that Rublev won the Hong Kong tournament this season. But then his results declined.
“Andrey started the season well, won a tournament in Hong Kong, then reached the quarterfinals of the Australian Open. Then something happened to him, and he stopped showing good results, he spent the last tournaments in America lackluster, showed completely lackluster behavior. “On clay he will have to defend the title in Monte Carlo, given his current form it will not be easy. On the other hand, Rublev knows how to play on clay, maybe he will transform there,” TASS quotes Chenokov.
Medvedev and Rublev remain in the top 6 of the ATP rankings
The Russian unsuccessfully hosted the Masters Series tournaments in Indian Wells and Miami (both in the United States). In both cases, he was eliminated from the start.
