Fernando Vicente, coach of world number eight Andrei Rublev designated as the key moment of the past season for the Russian tennis player.
— How do you evaluate Rublev’s season?
— Overall, we’re off to a good start. We had a good pre-season, Andrey won in Hong Kong, then in Australia, he was close to elimination in the first round, but was able to reach the quarterfinals, where he lost to Sinner in the fight – he definitely played better than last year. After Australia, I was convinced that we were going to have a great year. But then this situation happened in Dubai, which had never happened to Andrey before. After that moment, Rublev completely lost his focus, leading to complete disaster at Roland Garros and Wimbledon. This situation ruined the season. For this reason, we decided to skip the Olympics. Although Andrei managed to win the Masters in Madrid,” Vicente was quoted as saying in “Championship.”
Last season, Rublev was disqualified in the semi-final of a tournament in Dubai for insulting a linesman. The Russian also smashed his knee with his racket several times until it bled during matches.
