Athletistic / Tennis. Sports psychologist Elizaveta Kozhevnikova spoke about the behavior of Russian tennis player Andrei Rublev (world number 6) during the first round match at Wimbledon 2024. According to her, the 26-year-old Russian did an excellent job of redirecting his anger during the match.
On July 2, Andrei Rublev lost to world number 122 Francisco Comesana of Argentina in the first round of the grass-court slam. In the third game, after two lost serves, the Russian hit his knee several times with his racket, causing it to bleed.
“An athlete must put anger somewhere, because it is a very strong emotion. If you are at work, this anger cannot be suppressed, otherwise it will destroy concentration and cause depression. As a rule, it takes a lot of time. To process anger, when we are active athletes, we do not have it. Psychologists recommend channeling anger in an acceptable way within the strict rules of Wimbledon, it seems to me that Rublev did an excellent job with this task,” Match TV said. As Kozhevnikova said.
Andrey Rublev has won 16 ATP singles tournament trophies during his career. He is the Olympic champion of the 2020 Games in Tokyo (Japan) in mixed doubles (in a duet with Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova).
