Rublev on the doping scandal: "In tennis, the rules are super strict".
Andrey Rublev was interviewed by Eurosport about his ambitions for 2025, his competitors and, last but not least, the doping case involving Jannik Sinner.
The Russian, ranked 8th in the world, expressed his admiration for Sinner and the level he has been able to achieve on the circuit despite the context: "You can't wish this on any player. I can't imagine the stress or anxiety he must have felt during that period.
He handled it very well, continued to play at his best and managed to dominate the circuit by winning titles. That's very impressive."
Rublev also gave his opinion on the handling of doping cases by the relevant authorities: "I think the anti-doping system should be a little more understandable.
In tennis, the rules are super strict, more so than in other sports. I feel like every little mistake, even if it's unintentional, can threaten your career."
