Russian tennis player Andrey Rublev will fall out of the top 5 in the Association of Professional Tennis Players (ATP) rankings this week due to the scandalous incident in the semi-finals of the ATP-500 tournament held in Dubai (UAE).
The Russian tennis player lost the 200 points he earned by reaching the semi-finals of the tournament in Dubai.
On March 1, Rublev was disqualified in the semifinal match against Kazakhstan representative Alexander Bublik at the tournament in Dubai. The Russian cursed the line judge obscenely in Russian. It was not the president who drew attention to the mat, but another line judge who spoke Russian. It is worth noting that Bublik expressed his desire to continue the meeting.
Rublev is currently fifth in the ATP rankings (5110 points). Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic continues to lead with 9855 points. The second place was Spanish Carlos Alcaraz (8805 points). In third place is Italian Jannik Sinner (8270 points). He is followed by Daniil Medvedev, who rose from third place to fourth place (8015 points).
