Neither Nadal nor Federer has had their say on
Wimbledon's ban so far and
Andrey Rublev has no idea why that is.
In an interview with championhat, world No.5 Rublev said he was
at a loss to explain the apparent silence of the pair saying:
"Honestly, I
don't know. No guesswork. It's probably better to ask them that
question. I don't want to throw too much conjecture to misinform. Is it because of the image or do they have a different opinion? I don't know."
The ban will also be a blow to Rublev's ambitions to become the top player in the world, a target that appears realistic after winning three ATP titles this year. He admitted wanting to become number one:
"The goals are big: I want to climb higher and higher, try to reach number one in ATP."
