Rublev sought help after his breakdowns: "I turned to psychologists".
Andrey Rublev has had an intense 2024, in which his on-court behavior has been very worrying.
Disqualified in Dubai, self-mutilation at Roland-Garros and Paris-Bercy... The Russian showed significant signs of mental distress, angry with himself, his game and his results.
Scenes that made people sit up and take notice, prompting the world No. 8 to seek help so that he can avoid further slip-ups in 2025: "I called in psychologists, I tried everything I could.
I tried to educate myself on the subject, on how life works.
Off the courts, I took lessons that made me grow up, that made me more mature and made me see things in a different light."
This work on himself and his mental health will enable him to approach the new season more serenely: "Everything is linked. The way I behaved on the court went hand in hand with the way I behaved off it.
So I'm learning and starting to behave less like a kid.
If you're good to yourself, then the rest will work itself out."
