Andrey Rublev suffered a defeat in the opening round of the Wimbledon tournament due to a decline in physical fitness, according to Honored Coach of Russia Viktor Yanchuk.
On Tuesday, Rublev lost to the world’s 122nd-ranked player, Argentine Francisco Comesana, with a score of 4:6, 7:5, 2:6, 6:7 (5:7) in the first round of Wimbledon.
— Andrey is currently in a decline somewhere. But it should be noted that there is more speed on grass and you need to move quickly, keep a higher tempo. To do this, you need to be in good shape. Andrey has not distinguished himself on grass yet. There have been no major victories on this surface. The first games are always difficult. Unfortunately, it turned out that way. This is sport. In every match, the opponent can present surprises. Any opponent is prepared for Andrey, — the words of “Championship” quote Yanchuk as saying.
Rublev, 26, is ranked 6th in the ATP rankings. The Russian has 16 ATP singles titles to his name.
