Sports psychologist Elizaveta Kozhevnikova, in a conversation with a correspondent, expressed the opinion that the Russian tennis player Andrei Rublev did a great job of refocusing his anger during a Wimbledon match where he repeatedly hit himself with his racket.
On Tuesday, Rublev lost to Argentine Francisco Comesana, world number 122, 4:6, 7:5, 2:6, 6:7 (5:7) in the first round of Wimbledon. In the third game, after two lost serves, the Russian hit his knee several times with his racket, causing it to bleed.
“An athlete needs to channel his anger somewhere; it is a very strong emotion. If you work, it cannot be suppressed. Otherwise, suppressed anger will destroy concentration and cause depression. As a rule, it takes a long time to deal with anger. When we play, we do not have it. Psychologists recommend channeling anger in an acceptable way. Within the strict rules of Wimbledon, in my opinion, he copes with this task very well,” Kozhevnikova told .
Rublev is 26 years old and has 16 ATP singles titles to his name.
