Russia’s tennis star Andrey Rublev has revealed that he is taking a different approach in the French Open 2024. The 26-year-old entered the competition in good form as he recently clinched the Madrid Open after beating Canada’s Felix Auger Aliassime in the final with a score of 4-6, 7-5, 7-5. In the first-round contest at the Roland Garros on Sunday, he defeated Japan’s Taro Daniel with a score of 6-2, 6-7, 6-3, 7-5.

After the match, Rublev, while talking to the Tennis channel, revealed how he is taking a different approach in the French Open compared to how he used to take in the previous Grand Slams where he was too worried about draw. “All the Slams, I have been thinking too much about upcoming matches, about draws, about how I need to play or who I have in my draw so I am tired of it. Just let it be the way it’s going to be and that’s it,” he said.

Rublev is now set to face Spain’s Pedro Martinez in the round of 64 at the Roland Garros on Wednesday. The 27-year-old defeated Argentina’s Thiago Agustin Tirante in his opening round contest in a five-set thriller with a score of 5-7, 6-4, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3.
