– These results at the US Open are like a breath of fresh air for Rublev after a rather difficult summer. Just one step away from the first Grand Slam semi-final of his career.

Guadeloupe belen Greco:
– Everyone talks about Rublev’s forehand, but his backhand is simply amazing!

Victor Read:
– Rublev is a beast! He could well become champion at the US Open this year.

Last season, Andrey played for the Russian national team at the ATP Cup along with Daniil Medvedev, Aslan Karatsev and Evgeny Donskoy. In the first match against the Argentina national team Rublev beat Guido Pella 6-1, 6-2, then in the doubles match with Aslan Karatsev they lost to Maximo Gonzalez and Horacio Ceballos 4-6, 6-7 (4) , which did not prevent the Russian team from winning 2:1. In the second game against Japan, Rublev beat Yoshihito Nishioka 6-1, 6-3, while Russia won 2-1 and left the group first. In the semi-final against Germany, Rublev defeated Jan-Lennard Struff 3-6, 6-1, 6-2, while the Russian team won 2-1, only losing the doubles match. In the final against the Italian national team, Rublev defeated Fabio Fognini 6-1, 6-2, and the Russian team won earlier than expected 2:0. Thus, Andrei and Daniil won all the singles matches and won the national team victory in the tournament.

At the Australian Open, Andrei reached the quarterfinals, again losing to Daniil Medvedev.

Andrey then won the ATP-500 tournament in Rotterdam, which was his fourth in a row in this category.

The next tournament in Doha was unusual, because Andrey made it to the semi-finals of the tournament without playing a single match: thanks to his high odds, he missed 1 round, and then Richard Gasquet and Marton Fucovich refused. In the semifinals, Andrey lost to Roberto Bautista-Agut. However, Andrey won the doubles tournament with Aslan Karatsev. It was the first joint tournament for them except for a match at the 2021 ATP Cup.

At the Olympics, Andrei initially gave an unsuccessful start, losing in the first round of the tournament in singles against Kei Nishikori, and in doubles with Khachanov against Rajiv Ram and Francis Tiafoe. But then, with Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, they went through Croatian pair Dariya Jurak/Ivan Dodig, tournament host pair Ena Shibahara/Ben McLachlan, in the semi-finals they beat Ashleigh Barty and John Pierce, and in the final they met another Russian pair Elena Vesnina / Aslan Karatsev. The Russians won all 4 matches in the decisive tie-break of the third set.

In September, he took part in the Laver Cup as part of the European team, with which he won the tournament.

In 2022, Rublev won the tenth title in tournaments under the auspices of ATP. He beat Czech Jiri Vesela in the final of the PTA tournament in Dubai with a score of 6:3, 6:4. During the match, Rublev ran into the judge. Then he explained that he thought the referee made 3 mistakes, so he couldn’t stand it. But he blames himself for this episode.
