Rublev discusses his drop in rankings: "Fall to rise stronger"
Andrey Rublev has now definitively dropped out of the Top 10 following his early exit at the Madrid Masters 1000, where he was defending his title.
The Russian addressed this setback with great serenity: "Fall to rise stronger. Actually, everything is fine. It was probably expected anyway.
So, on the contrary, it’s even good. And honestly, I feel calm because I know the process is now properly in place. That is, in fact, everything is getting better and better.
I understand it myself, I can feel it. All that’s left is to have that breakthrough moment in matches, and everything will fall into place."
Rublev will look to build confidence in Rome, where he will face the winner of the match between Joao Fonseca and Fabian Marozsan in his opening round.
