Sports and clinical psychologist Maxim Kvasov explained the reason for the aggressive behavior of Russian tennis player Andrei Rublev during his match with his compatriot Daniil Medvedev in the group stage of the Union of Tennis Professionals Final Championship. His words guide the way “Soviet sport”.
“First of all, this shows that the person cannot cope with the level of stress and neuro-psychic arousal that occurs at certain moments of the game. It is clear that the more important the game is for an athlete, the higher the expectations are from him. If for one reason or another he cannot meet these requirements: if something goes wrong, if his game plan collapses, then he becomes very frustrated,” Kvasov said.
During the match, before serving, a fan shouted to Rublev in Russian, “Pull yourself together!” he shouted, to which Andrei replied: “Go to hell.”
