In the news

“"Congrats Arthur, to your team, to your family. Your level is ridiculous. The level today and the last years proved that you're one of the best on tour. Being out for half a year and coming back at that level is something. I practice every day and I'm not at that level. Really happy for you, you deserve it 100%."”

How they play

Playing style

Andrey Rublev is an aggressive baseline player powered by his big forehand, his favorite and most lethal shot, used consistently for passing winners even on the run. His two-handed backhand provides depth and spin but lacks consistency under pressure. He overpowers opponents with flat, heavy groundstrokes from both wings, backed by a powerful first serve exceeding 125 mph, though his weaker second serve and double faults limit effectiveness. Capable of net approaches under Safin's coaching influence, his hyper-aggression leads to unforced error bursts when rhythm falters, making mental resilience key to his threat level.

Serve
Rublev possesses a powerful first serve frequently topping 125 mph with good placement to set up easy forehands. His second serve is slower and vulnerable, prone to double faults that opponents target.
Groundstrokes
Dominant flat forehand generates massive pace and depth, ideal for down-the-line winners; consistent running forehand passing shots. Solid backhand hits deep with topspin but less powerful and prone to inconsistency.
Movement
Average footwork and court coverage; relies on anticipation over defense. Performs adequately on all surfaces but thrives on faster hard courts; clay exposes movement limitations.
Weakness
Hyper-aggressive style causes clusters of unforced errors, especially when missing first serves or early balls. Opponents extend rallies to provoke errors and avoid his power; poor second serve invites returns.

Notable rivalries

Novak Djokovic
Djokovic leads 5-1 head-to-head, including Australian Open 2023 QF rout. Rublev's lone win came early; Djokovic dominates key matches.
Jannik Sinner
Sinner leads 6-3; multiple Slam QFs lost to Sinner, like AO 2024. Rublev has upset wins but Sinner holds edge recently.
Daniil Medvedev
Competitive rivalry among Russians; even head-to-head with tight ATP Finals battles. Medvedev edged recent Dubai potential matchup.
Carlos Alcaraz
Alcaraz leads slightly; Rublev beat him in 2024 Madrid en route to title but lost Wimbledon 2025 R4. Tense power vs power clashes.
