Honored tennis coach of Russia Viktor Yanchuk believes that the seventh racket of the world Andrei Rublev currently does not show the level of play of leading tennis players.
On Sunday, Rublev lost to Pole Hubert Hurkacz with a score of 3:6, 6:3, 6:7 (8:10) in the final of the Masters series tournament in Shanghai.
– I won’t say that the semi-final with Dimitrov really exhausted Andrey, that he was unable to fully recover for the main match of the tournament. To some extent this is indeed possible, but this is not the main reason for his defeat. Rublev really wanted to win the trophy, but the psychological pressure of this meeting crippled him. His attacking style of play, combined with his signature run-in shot, at some point begins to become extremely risky. I believe that Andrey simply “burnt out.” He allowed himself to make more mistakes than usual. Rublev has not yet reached the level of leading tennis players,” RT quotes Yanchuk as saying.
The 25-year-old Rublev has 14 victories in ATP tournaments.
