Rublev responds to question about doubles with Kalinskaya: "I don't even want to get into the details"
Kalinskaya expressed her desire to play mixed doubles at the US Open with Rublev. A surprising statement, as the Russian had already announced his partner in the press—Muchova.
Additionally, this situation sparked discussion due to the 26-year-old player's relationship with world No. 1 Jannik Sinner:
"I had completely forgotten about this tournament. Today, I thought about it and asked Andrey. I wanted to play with him, but he had already made arrangements and didn’t expect me to ask.
I haven’t received any offers so far, I don’t know if I’ll play, we’ll see. Among Russians, I’d only want to play with him. Apparently, I’ll have to look for a foreign partner," she said in comments reported by Tennis World Italia.
When asked about the topic in Madrid, Rublev responded in an interview shared by Fanpage:
"Honestly, I don’t even want to get into the details or try to understand it, because I already have an agreement with Muchova. I didn’t know Anna wanted to play with me. Jannik or no Jannik, I don’t want to get involved. I only found out after she wanted to. What can I say? I’m sorry, but I already made a commitment."
