Style and personality
Possessing an all-out attacking game, Rublev is one of the most exciting players to watch on tour. He does not believe in long, extended rallies or grinding out errors from opponents. This explosive young player is all about the first-strike, one-punch tennis that makes for electrifying viewing.
Career
Having burst onto the scene with a brilliant run to the quarter-finals of the 2017 US Open, Rublev has made himself a regular presence inside the world’s top 10 and is a frequent collector of titles with his trademark style of all-out aggression. Having now collected 13 ATP Tour titles – including a Masters 1000 title in Monte-Carlo this year – Rublev is one of the most dangerous players on the tour.
