Shamil Tarpishchev, President of the Russian Tennis Federation (RTF), spoke about the behavior of Andrei Rublev in the fourth round match of the tournament held in Rome (Italy).
“Rublev is psychologically tired, he is already past the peak of his form. We need to prepare and recruit players for the French Open. He does not feel physical fatigue, but the psychological one accumulates. The yelling of obscene words means that his nervous system is cracking and you need to take a break,” explains Tarpischev. TASS.
Recall that yesterday Rublev lost the world’s 101st racket to German Yannick Hanfman with scores of 6:7, 6:4, 3:6. In the third set, the Russian allowed him to swear obscenely. His words were published. He had to prove to the judge that he wasn’t swearing, but still received a warning for his behavior.
Andrey Rublev is ranked 6th in the Professional Tennis Players Association (ATP) ranking. Serbian Novak Djokovic remains in the lead. In second place is Spanish Carlos Alcaraz. Russian Daniil Medvedev took third place. The Norwegian removed Kasper Ruud from this position.
It was previously reported that Daniil Medvedev defeated Zverev to advance to the quarterfinals of the tournament in Rome..
