Andrei Rublev he often talks about controlling his anger. And when he does he sounds sincere. Remember, it was only nine months ago that Russia fired a shot on the court and was sent off for physically threatening an official in the semi-finals in Dubai.
Afterwards, a remorseful Rublev vowed to control his anger.
“It's not acceptable to shout or yell at someone – it doesn't matter who it is,” said Rublev. “If it's a row or just a spectator, it's not acceptable and I'm very sorry. It doesn't matter if the guy is right or wrong, it's not acceptable and I'm not a person and I don't have anyone to do those things. I certainly learned a lesson and I certainly learned from it.”
Rublev's problems continued, however.
At Roland-Garros, he melted into despair when he lost to Italy's Matteo Arnald.
A dejected Rublev said at the time: “I was completely disappointed in the way I behaved, the way I worked, and I don't remember behaving so badly in singing.” The problem is that today I am killing myself.”
Rublev had a lot of problems at Wimbledon, where he again took out his frustration on the knee. Afterwards he laughed, saying at least he didn't damage the hallowed turf of the All England Club.
World No.7 Rublev did not scold an official today in Paris, but his disgusting behavior, which showed cries of abuse from the spectators, a broken water bottle while moving on a chair and hurting himself with his racquet (bloody knee) has also raised concerns among the tennis community.
This is really concerning—Rublev hurts his knee again from hurting himself with his racket. How can this be prevented? 😰#AndreyRublev #Rublev #Tennis #Danger #rolexparismasters #Andrey #Aceittt pic.twitter.com/sjVHX4B8kM

“This has gone from a tennis meme to a source of great concern,” tweeted journalist Jon Wertheim, echoing the sentiments of many who took to Twitter to share the now risqué videos of Rublev's behavior during his 7-6(6) 7-6(5) loss to Francisco. Cerundolo.
