" My goal is still the same. Like I was saying before Monte Carlo, I feel that I'm doing really good things outside the court on practice.I like how I'm working with my new team, fitness-wise, treatment- wise, tennis-wise, mental-wise. I feel that it's the right way".
Andrey Rublev.

I like his brash persona,and he can get in anyone's face on tour and back it up with his game.He is playing to win not to be liked.I prefer him over a bunch of players like Zverez,Nick,Fritz,Rublev, and Medvedev.
That's all fine and good, but he's got to use that emotion to his advantage and own his demeanor on court. He's imploded or folded against Stan at IW and twice against hair dude all this year which is a fairly short period of time. He's turning potential wins into losses. He needs to back up the statement he made about he, Charlie and Jannik being the new Big 3

Even Stefanos Tsitsipas tweeted, on Rublev's win! ( remember he once said Rublev had limited weapons, then later on apologized)

He deserves it. He is a good kid"
He is at least 22 years old, not really a kid Tits. He should just shush since he really doesn't know what to say or hire a PR or social media specialist to run his accounts.

Leave Pegasus alone.. he feels that his words have relevance ..jajaja..
I'll leave him alone when he shuts his trap. Did you hear what he said about Rublev in the past? He said dude had limited weapons, then later apologized. Remember what he said about Meddy. Called him a bullshit Russian. His speaking faux pas are too many count.

The Wawrinka match was actually more a comeback, he survived MP’s to take it to a 3rd set.

Agree both Rublev matches were snatching defeat from the jaws of victory;

What I hope his team helps him see is that Holger doesn't always have the mental self discipline to engage the crowd AND play near his best. Having said that, he can fire himself at times as he did against Sinner.

The kid has 11 top ten wins (11-9) highly unusual for a 19 year old just learning the ropes, and the back to back wins over Medvedev & Sinner were impressive.

There is tension between the " comrades". Rublev, Medvedev, Zverez,and Tittypus.

If I was FAA, If I CANT find a way to defeat these 4 mental at times midgets, then maybe he needs to go back to college and get a corp job but not in Canada..taxes too damn high..
FAA is the typical Canadian , someone who straddles the fence.FAA is more french Canuck than Togolese.
