Andrey Rublev’s coach, Fernando Vicente, recently shared insights into Rublev’s mental health journey and his decision to seek help from a psychologist.
Rublev is a popular figure on the ATP Tour, known for his friendships with fellow players like Daniil Medvedev. In fact, he is the godfather to Medvedev’s child, showing their close bond.
However, not everyone has always been happy with Rublev. Lorenzo Sonego criticized him when he withdrew from the Moselle Open after defeating him. Rublev had joined the tournament because he wasn’t sure about his spot in the ATP Finals. But once Novak Djokovic pulled out of that event, Rublev decided to leave Moselle too.

Inside Andrey’s Mind:
Despite being liked off-court, Rublev sometimes struggles with anger during matches. His temper can be intense and even concerning at times . During this year’s Paris Masters, he hit himself with his racket until his knee bled—a moment that worried many fans.
Fans might think it’s brave of him to work on these issues so openly.
Rublev works with a psychologist not just for anger management but also to tackle deeper issues like depression. Vicente mentioned in an interview that they support him by attending therapy sessions three times a week together.
“We tried to be close to him,” Vicente said. “We went to the psychologist three times a week.”
This season has been wild for Rublev in more ways than one. After the US Open, he faced a serious health scare involving surgery where he almost lost a testicle! Despite doctors’ warnings before heading to China due to abdominal pain affecting his serve, Rublev insisted on playing because he’s passionate about tennis.
“It’s been a crazy season,” Vicente admitted while describing how much energy and dedication Andrey puts into training every single day—even weekends!
“He always wants to train: Monday through Sunday,” Vicente added fondly.
In conclusion: let’s hope Andrey finds peace within himself soon—he truly seems like someone who cares deeply despite those fiery moments on court! What do you think?
