Honored Russian coach, Viktor Yanchuk, has given his expert opinion on the physical form of Andrey Rublev, the world number eight tennis player.
Yanchuk commented, “Rublev demonstrated excellent form, but his loss in the first match of the subsequent tournament was quite predictable. After a peak, there’s naturally a decline, both physically and mentally. Following significant wins, rest, recovery, and preparation for a new cycle are essential. He understandably relaxed after a major win. I believe he needs a couple of weeks to recover and get back to his top level.”
27-year-old Rublev secured his first title of 2025 in February, winning the Doha tournament. However, in the following tournament in Dubai, he was defeated in the first round by French player Quentin Halys.
