Early life

[edit]

Andrey Rublev (Андрей Андреевич Рублёв) was born in Moscow to Andrey Rublev Sr., a former professional boxer turned restaurant manager,[5] and Marina Marenko (née Tyurakova; [Тюракова] Error: {{Lang}}: invalid parameter: |links= (help)), a tennis coach at the Spartak Tennis Club.[6] His mother worked with tennis players such as Anna Kournikova and received the Medal of the Order "For Merit to the Fatherland" in 2009. She is also the mother of Anna Arina Marenko, Rublev's older half-sister and former professional tennis player.[7]

Rublev has Austrian ancestry on his paternal side, through his grandmother Larisa Genrikhovna Rubleva.[8] He often credits his paternal grandparents for raising him as a child for five days a week until he was 15.[9] Rublev denies the claims his mother used to be harsh towards him: "She was definitely not harsh. My parents always did everything for me. They love me very much".[10][11] His maternal grandfather, Andrey Fyodorovich Tyurakov was a pro-coach in Greco-Roman wrestling, an amateur tennis player and doubles partner of Boris Sobkin, a coach of professional tennis player Mikhail Youzhny and sparring partner of Grand Slam doubles champion Olga Morozova in her prime years.[12][13]

In 2013, however, Belarusian Sergey Tarasevich became his other coach. Then Tarasevich was replaced by Fernando Vicente from Spain.[14]

Junior career

[edit]
Rublev playing at the 2013 junior US Open

Rublev debuted in Luxembourg at age 13, getting his first win in his second competition in Phoenix.[15] In the following years, Rublev could climb the third rounds in singles, and in December 2012, he won one of the top junior competitions, the Orange Bowl.[15]

Next, in spring of 2013, Rublev achieved the NWU Pukke/RVTA Junior ITF 1 cup in Potchefstroom, South Africa. He successfully competed in following tournaments, especially on clay surface, including the Trofeo Bonfiglio in Milan, and became quarterfinalist at the 2014 Australian Open junior singles. At the doubles competition, he paired with German Alexander Zverev, reaching the quarterfinals. The first notable win was at the 2014 French Open junior singles, crushing Jaume Munar.[15] There he also reached the semifinals with partner Stefan Kozlov, before being knocked down by Frenchmen and future winners Benjamin Bonzi / Quentin Halys.[16] He became world No. 1 ITF Junior player on 9 June 2014, after winning the 2014 Junior French Open.[17]

Shortly before Wimbledon, Rublev captured the cup at the Nike Junior International in Roehampton, England. In the Wimbledon Championships, he reached the third round, before being beaten by 1842nd-ranked Dutch Tim van Rijthoven in three tight sets.[18] In doubles, Rublev and Kozlov lost to Brazilians Orlando Luz and Marcelo Zormann in three sets, attaining his first junior Grand Slam final in doubles.[19]

Rublev took a break before competing at the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics, where he played in all three events as first-seeded. In singles, he lost to Kamil Majchrzak in three sets, but received a bronze medal for beating Jumpei Yamasaki. Partnering with fellow Karen Khachanov in doubles, Rublev reached the finals, where they again lost to Brazilians Luz and Zormann. He and his mixed partner Daria Kasatkina only reached the second round, where they were defeated by silver medalists Ye Qiuyu and Yamazaki.[citation needed]

In April 2015, Rublev finished his junior career by winning the inaugural ITF Junior Masters in Chengdu, China. In the final, the Russian beat Taylor Fritz in three sets.[20]

In 2015, Rublev entered his first ATP tournament in Delray Beach, where he reached the second round losing to Steve Johnson in straight sets.[citation needed]

The Russian participated at his first Masters 1000 entry in Miami, where he defeated Pablo Carreño Busta, but lost to John Isner. He entered the clay season at the Barcelona Open, where as a qualifier he reached the second round after overcoming Fernando Verdasco.[citation needed]

With his win over Finn Jarkko Nieminen at Geneva Open, 17-year-old Rublev repeated Nadal's success in winning at least once on five ATP tournaments in one season as a teenager who is under 18 years old. (Nadal did that in 2004.)[22][23]

Rublev was called for the Davis Cup team in the 2015 Davis Cup Europea/Africa Zone Group I match against Spain, held in Vladivostok. After losing his first match against Tommy Robredo, Rublev won his second match against Pablo Andújar in the decisive fifth rubber to complete a 0–2 comeback for Russia against five-time champion Spain. This secured team Russia a place in the World Group play-offs. Russia played in the World Group play-offs last time in 2012, losing then to Brazil 0–5.[24]

He made his major debut at 2015 US Open as a qualifier. Rublev won his first ATP title at the 2015 Kremlin Cup in doubles, partnering with comeback Dmitry Tursunov.

[edit]

Rublev started the 2016 year at the Chennai Open, losing to Stan Wawrinka in the second round. He reached only the first and second rounds of ATP 250 and Challenger tournaments. In March, this poor performance led to his decision to part ways with his coach Sergey Tarasevich. Immediately after that, on 6 March 2016 he made a turn by winning his first Challenger in singles, defeating Paul-Henri Mathieu in Quimper, France. As a result, Rublev jumped 47 positions from 208th to 161st ranking position, a new career-high.[25] In April, he joined 4Slam Academy in Barcelona, run by Galo Blanco.[26]

Despite losing in the qualification round, Rublev as lucky loser reached his first ATP singles final at the Umag Open, beating in the quarterfinals defending champion Fabio Fognini. In the final, he beat Paolo Lorenzi in straight sets to win his first ATP singles title. It was the seventh time that a lucky loser would win a tournament, the last tennis player doing so at that time was Rajeev Ram in 2009 Hall of Fame Tennis Championships.[27] He reached the top 50 at world No. 49, on 24 July 2017.[28]

Rublev went on to compete at the 2017 US Open as a direct entrant.

The Russian then had a first-round exit in Acapulco, losing to David Ferrer. He did not compete at the 2018 French Open or 2018 Wimbledon due to a back injury he sustained at the Monte-Carlo Masters where he lost in the third round to Dominic Thiem after having had a match point.[31]

2020: Five ATP titles, world No. 8

[edit]

Rublev entered the 2020 ATP season by winning back-to-back titles. Not allowed to compete in the newly established ATP Cup, as only a country's top two singles tennis players qualified, Rublev instead entered the Qatar Open, this time winning the trophy as he failed to do so two years ago. Next, Rublev took part in the maiden Adelaide International. Third-seeded, Rublev overcame Canadian Félix Auger-Aliassime in a three-set marathon match in the semifinal, before reaching the final and soundly defeating qualifier Lloyd Harris. Together with his results at 2019 Davis Cup Finals, this was 12th consecutive win for Rublev. He became the first player to win two ATP tournaments in the first two weeks of the season since 2004, when Dominik Hrbatý won tournaments in Adelaide and Auckland.[39]

Next up for Rublev was the first of the year's four Grand Slam tournaments, the Australian Open where Rublev extended his early 2020 undefeated winning streak to 11 matches by coming from behind for a four-set third round victory over the 11th seed David Goffin of Belgium. His unbeaten 2020 run then ended the fourth round where he lost in straight sets to the seventh seed Alexander Zverev of Germany, who advanced to his first Australian Open quarterfinal.[40][41]

Next in the Rotterdam Open, the seventh-seeded Rublev advanced into the quarterfinals with a round of 16 victory over Alexander Bublik of Kazakhstan. However, he then lost in straight sets to Filip Krajinović of Serbia who then advanced to the semifinals.[42] Then, in February at the Dubai Championships, Rublev made it to the quarterfinals where he lost in straight sets to the unseeded Dan Evans of Great Britain.[43]

After tournaments that should have started but were cancelled or postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the late 2020 season saw a number of replacement exhibition tournaments. Rublev participated at the Adria Tour, taking place in the Balkans. The tournament was split into four groups of four players each. Rublev, playing in the Alexander Zverev group, in Zadar, Croatia, beat Marin Čilić, Danilo Petrović and Zverev to qualify into the final, where would have competed with Novak Djokovic. However, one of the participants, Grigor Dimitrov, was tested positive for the coronavirus, and so the final match was cancelled.[44]

Later in the season when competition resumed prior to the US Open, Rublev lost in three sets in a two out of three-set-match to British player Dan Evans in the opening round of the Western & Southern Open, which was played this year at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, home of the US Open, instead of Mason, Ohio, where it is traditionally being held.[45] Seeded 10th at the US Open, Rublev defeated Jérémy Chardy and Grégoire Barrère,[46] Salvatore Caruso,[47] all in straight sets. Rublev's round of 16 match pitted was a rematch against a player he lost to in the same round in 2019, the fifth seed Matteo Berrettini. This time, Rublev won in four sets and advanced to his second US Open quarterfinal.[48] He then lost in his quarterfinal match to Daniil Medvedev in straight sets with two tiebreakers.[49]

Next, Rublev achieved his third tour title of the year at the Hamburg European Open, where in the final he defeated second seeded Stefanos Tsitsipas in three sets.[50] However, Tsitsipas returned serve by defeating Rublev in straight sets in the quarterfinals of the French Open. However, this performance guaranteed him a place in the top ten of the ATP rankings on 12 October 2020.[51] Rublev then won his fourth title of the year at the St. Petersburg Open, defeating seventh seed Borna Ćorić, in straight sets.[52] He reached a career-high of World No. 8 on 19 October 2020.[28]

Rublev would then beat Jannik Sinner in three sets with Sinner retiring after only three games due to injury. Rublev would then upset second seed and defending champion Dominic Thiem. Rublev would then eliminate Kevin Anderson, Anderson would retire in the second set due to injury. Rublev won his match with Anderson. Rublev would then defeat lucky loser Lorenzo Sonego to win the 2020 Vienna Open singles title.[53] With this win, Rublev qualified for the ATP Finals in London, which was his first ATP Finals appearance.[54]

In mid-November, at the ATP Finals, Rublev was placed in Group London 2020, where he would be eliminated in the round-robin phase. He started off his ATP-Finals debut with a match against Rafael Nadal – the second seed. Nadal beat Rublev. Two days after his loss, Rublev would face off against defending champion and sixth seed, Stefanos Tsitsipas. In his match, Rublev got match point on serve during the deciding set tiebreaker, but he double faulted, and lost the tiebreak and the match. Tsitsipas won, and Rublev was eliminated from the tournament.[55] Two days later, Rublev faced his final opponent: third seed Dominic Thiem whom Rublev defeated to conclude his ATP Final debut.[56]

At 5–6 in the third set of the semifinals against Alexander Bublik, Rublev was defaulted for verbally abusing a line judge.[115] However, the ATP later restored Rublev's ranking points and prize money from the tournament.[116]

After his default in Dubai, Rublev struggled with form. Seeded fifth in Indian Wells, Rublev beat Andy Murray before losing to 32nd seed Jiří Lehečka.[117][118] In Miami, Rublev received a bye into the second round and was upset by world No. 60 Tomáš Macháč.[119] Defending his title in Monte-Carlo, he received a bye into the second round before losing to 46th ranked Alexei Popyrin in straight sets.[120] As the top seed in Barcelona after Carlos Alcaraz's withdrawal, Rublev fell to world No. 87 Brandon Nakashima.[121] However, Rublev returned to form in Madrid and won his second Masters 1000 title after defeating Facundo Bagnis, Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, Tallon Griekspoor, second seed Carlos Alcaraz, Taylor Fritz, and Félix Auger-Aliassime in the final.[122][123] With this win, Rublev became the only man to win in both singles and doubles in Madrid.[124] At the French Open, Rublev defeated Taro Daniel and Pedro Martínez, but was upset by Matteo Arnaldi in the third round, marking his second consecutive third-round exit at the tournament.[125][126]

Rublev began his grass season seeded fourth in Halle, but was upset in the first round by Marcos Giron.[127] He was also defeated in the first round at the 2024 Wimbledon Championships by major debutant Francisco Comesaña.[128][129]

At the 2024 National Bank Open, he first reached the quarterfinals with wins over Tomas Martin Etcheverry and qualifier Brandon Nakashima and completed the career set of both Masters and Grand Slam quarterfinals becoming the first man born in 1997 or later to achieve the feat and the third man born in 1990 or later, after 1991-born Grigor Dimitrov and 1996-born Daniel Medvedev. He was also the seventh man after Dominic Thiem (1993), Stefanos Tsitsipas (1998), Alexander Zverev (1997), Grigor Dimitrov (1991), Daniil Medvedev (1996) and Hubert Hurkacz (1997), all born after 1990, to complete the nine Masters 1000 career set.[130] He subsequently reached the semifinals for the first time in Canada, having played two matches on the same day, with an upset over top seed and defending champion Jannik Sinner, recording his second win over a world No. 1.[131][132] He reached his sixth Masters 1000 final defeating Matteo Arnaldi in straight sets,[133][134] but was upset by Alexei Popyrin.

Playing style

[edit]

Rublev is an offensive baseliner with a big forehand – his favorite shot, and has a dangerous and consistent two-handed backhand. His running forehand is particularly lethal because of his consistency and comfort with the shot, making many passing shots with it. Despite his power, Rublev is often hyper-aggressive and can enter situations where he makes consecutive unforced errors, causing technical and mental difficulty to follow. However, he can also demonstrate periods when his forehand is elusive. He states that he does not prefer a particular tennis surface.[15]

Rublev has a powerful first serve that often reaches 200+ km/h (125+ mph). His second serve, however, is underwhelming because of his high number of double faults during matches, as well as being much slower than his first serve. In 2020, Yevgeny Kafelnikov said the following about Rublev's game: "I think his whole game, it just has some elements of playing junior tennis, hitting the ball harder and harder. If he improves in those two departments, his footwork and second serve, his whole game is going to change."[135]

Endorsements

[edit]

Rublev has been endorsed by Head for racquets,[136] Italian luxury brand Bulgari for watches[137] He used to be endorsed by Wilson for racquets and by Nike for apparel and shoes.[138] In 2023, Rublev launched his own clothing brand Rublo, that is "not about clothes". Rublo has been created to drive awareness around equality and kindness with the hope of making our world a better place, as he claims.[139]

Personal life

[edit]

Outside tennis, Rublev practises boxing and basketball, and he is particularly interested in Mike Tyson.[140] Rublev also creates his own electronic music like his idols – Martin Garrix and Alan Walker.[141] Rublev is nicknamed the "Rublo'", akin to the Russian word 'ruble'. He speaks Russian, English and Spanish, and he is a longtime fan of the Golden State Warriors (NBA)[142] and a supporter of FC Barcelona.[143]

Rublev is an Orthodox Christian and can be regularly seen crossing himself after matches.[144][145] He is the godfather to Daniil Medvedev’s daughter, Alisa.[146]
