Fernando Vicente, Spanish coach of Russian world number eight Andrei Rublev believes that a tennis player needs to get out of his comfort zone to progress in his level of play.
— Dinara Safina worked at the final tournament and said that her brother Marat believes that Andrei is afraid to change his game, that he needs to add variety, to get out of his comfort zone. Do you agree with Safin’s comments?
– Certainly. But it’s not that simple. Take Alcaraz, who can do everything on the pitch. Because of this, he goes to the net easily and finishes games there in a relaxed manner, his movement is on another level. If you think that we are not trying to teach Andrey to do shortcuts more often, to go online more often, then you are wrong. But it’s easy to talk about it, but difficult to do. In training, I tell Rublev to go to the net without worrying about possible mistakes, but in the matches themselves, of course, there is fear. So yes, Marat is right. It is also worth understanding that sometimes Andrey gets too nervous when something goes wrong. We are trying to convince him to get out of his comfort zone, to start believing more in what we practice in training,” Vicente said as quoted by “Championship”.
Rublev is 27 years old and has 16 individual victories in ATP tournaments. The Russian has never reached the semi-finals of a Grand Slam tournament.
