Andrey Rublev He is one of the players in the spotlight on the circuit. Being one of the most acclaimed tennis players in the ATP Roma 2023 by the fans, not everything has been successful in his career. Although he seems to have broken the bad dynamic with that Monte Carlo Masters 1000, the Russian has shown himself to be emotionally blocked on the big stages on numerous occasions, something that, according to The Guardian, he is confident will not happen again.
Lost seven quarterfinals at Grand Slam
“Those matches were very, very disappointing for me, because I lost them because of me. I felt that I had a chance to be in the semi-finals, but I couldn’t take the pressure. I couldn’t even play. I didn’t play because of my emotions. In the end, of course, I was very disappointed. It took me a while to recover”, explains the Russian player. “I wanted it so much that I couldn’t take the pressure during matches. I wasn’t really playing, I was completely tense and full of negative emotions that, in the end, didn’t even give me a chance to win the match.”
The excuses
“Instead of saying: ‘Yes, I’m completely tense and I can’t put the ball in play’, I start saying: ‘No, the wind, the sun, the referee, or because a spectator shouts something, or because the opponent is late. . Instead of 20 seconds, I spent a minute and that broke my rhythm’. It is because you are afraid to say that you are tense.
It’s about being honest with yourself, being honest with your team, listening to them and being open to telling them your fears and what’s on your mind, and then discussing together what you can do better or how you can do it better. In addition to trying not to be negative when you are angry on the track”, explains Andrey.
