Fernando Vicente, coach of world number eight Andrei Rublev spoke about the tennis player’s health problems before the final match of the Masters Series tournament in Madrid.
In the 2024 season, Rublev won the Masters for the first time in his career and he also won the Hong Kong tournament.
— At the Madrid Masters, Rublev was ill all week. I can’t imagine how you can win a tournament with such throat problems. He almost couldn’t breathe, the night before the final Rublev slept on the floor, without energy, but he won – I don’t know how. All in all, a crazy season.
Before the Chinese series, there was a problem with a testicle. The doctor begged him not to go, not to play in these tournaments, but Andrei wanted him, came and played badly. Then he had an abdominal problem and was almost unable to serve. But Rublev managed to find himself in Turin. Andrey is a madman in the good sense of the word. He always wants to train: Monday, Saturday, Sunday, it makes no difference. I have to kick him off the field. “I am happy to coach such a player,” Vicente told “Championship”.
