Fernando Vicente, coach of world number eight Andrei Rublev said he would completely understand if the Russian decided to stop cooperating with him.
— I am always open to any discussion. I told him several times: “Andrey, if you decide you need another coach, no problem.” If Andrey comes to me tomorrow and says: “Fernando, thank you for everything, but I think it will be better this way,” I will be happy. I just want what’s best for him. Yes, he pays me, but that’s not the main thing. I can stay at home peacefully and what’s more, I have an academy where I can work. As long as I can help him, I will be by his side.
Sometimes I myself think that Andrey needs to find someone else, but the main thing is that everything works out correctly. I once told Andrey: “If you have to pay money to Ivan Lendl, Murray, Moya, pay, but don’t let it be a waste of time. Because Europeans and Russians have different brains. After all, I know Andrei very well, I know Khachanov well, I know Medvedev. You are different, unique. Russians are very sincere and natural people, you don’t pretend. “It’s very easy for me to work with the Russians,” Vicente told “Championship”.
Rublev is the winner of 16 ATP singles tournaments.
