Andrey Rublev admitted weeks ago that he needs to work on his temper, but in his most recent match at the 2024 Halle Open, he couldn’t control it again. The Russian player is known for his fiery passion on the court, which often turns into anger when things don’t go his way. Rublev has a reputation for being very emotional during matches.
Being emotional isn’t new in tennis, but Rublev takes it to an extreme. He’s known to bloody himself by hitting himself with his racket, similar to what Mikhail Youzhny did years ago. Once, he even screamed in a line umpire’s face at the Dubai Championships and got disqualified. After that incident, he admitted needing to improve his behavior.
Despite acknowledging this issue, Rublev hasn’t made much progress. He had another outburst recently at the Halle Open after losing to Marcos Giron in two sets. Following a missed forehand that cost him the match, Rublev screamed and threw his racket onto the court.
Rublev’s Emotional Struggles:
This kind of behavior isn’t new for Rublev but remains concerning because he’s aware of it yet unable to change. Even after the Dubai incident where he crossed many lines, he’s still struggling with controlling his emotions.
