The former first racket of the world, Russian Dinara Safina, said that Russian Andrei Rublev you must overcome your fear and shorten rallies in order to defeat your opponents.
The 27-year-old Russian tennis player is ranked 8th in the ATP rankings.
— You said that Rublev needed to become bolder, that your brother advised him to get out of his comfort zone. Why hasn’t he done it yet?
“I understand very well when Andrei says he is afraid. But you just have to do these things, you have to surpass yourself, believe in yourself. This moment will facilitate his progress. Now, every player tries to add outlets to the net; on the back line, it is now difficult to outlast each other as they begin to “read” you. So sometimes you have to be able to anticipate. Andrey needs to speed up the game, finish the rally early. Because when you put your opponent away once, twice, three times and they get everything, you start rushing and taking risks. Therefore, it is better to finish at the net,” said Safina, as quoted by the Championship.
