(VIDEO): Andrey Rublev again shows anger on court in Halle Open first-round defeat
ATPThursday, 20 June 2024 at 10:07
Russia’s tennis star Andrey Rublev has again lost his
temper on the tennis court. The 26-year-old is regarded as one of the best players
currently playing in men’s tennis in the singles category.
In the last few months, Rublev has been in the news for the wrong reasons as he continued to vent his frustration on the court during matches. A similar incident happened during the Halle Open.
In a video that is available on the social media platform X -- previously known as Twitter -- the Moscow-born star, after missing a forehand, was
left frustrated.
He ended up screaming at himself and threw his racquet on the
court. His frustration was understandable as he ended up losing in the first
round to America’s Marcos Giron in the round of 32 in straight sets with a score
of 6-4, 7-6.
Earlier this year, Rublev was disqualified from the contest
after screaming on the chair umpire during an ATP event in Dubai. He did that
during the third set of the semifinal of the mega-event against Alexander Bublik.
After that incident, the current world number one six admitted that he has to
improve his behaviour in court.
Rublev is having a mixed campaign. He recently won his second ATP 1000 Masters competition in Madrid, where he defeated Canada’s Felix Auger Aliassime in the final with a score of 4-6, 7-5, 7-5.
Andrey Rublev suffered a defeat in the first round of the Halle Open.
Other than that, Rublev has not been able to set the world
alight with his performances. Perhaps his most impressive outing, other than the Madrid Open, came during the Australian Open, where he was eventually knocked out after
losing in the quarterfinal to current world number one Jannik Sinner in
straight sets with a score of 6-4, 7-6, 6-3.
He recently participated in the French Open but also suffered
a shocking exit after losing in the third round to Italy’s Matteo Arnaldi in
straight sets with a score of 7-6, 6-2, 6-4.

- I love WTA matches. Seek them out as much as possible on youtube and other platforms I already subscribe to. With that in mind, I do not wish to pay $$$ to a notoriously slippery subscription conglomerate sports broadcaster (like SkySports) just for the privilege to watch it and the tnt/eurosport/discovery subscription went from $$ to $$$+ annually in a blink of an eye. With ATP I have been begrudgingly paying xyz tennis only channel and try to catch up on slams elsewhere (pubs, youtube with USO later on games are just as enjoyable to watch and a smart move to upload on their official channel) but they don't cover WTA. I tried another Tennis dedicated channel that advertised originally as broadcasting where I live, but turned out, they took the money, but didn't cover the matches (only fluff/filler value documentaries). I don't understand why it is so hard to not lock the live matches to one broadcaster only refusing so many people who are happy to pay for the privilege just not through that one entry point. WTA is so exciting for the last few years and they really should capitalise on it as much as possible. And I know it is somewhat naive talking without knowing the inner works, but not being able to find any WTA other than youtube (and then only highlights mostly) is just so frustrating.JayJay11-09-2026
- Clearly not AI :-)
AceOfBase11-09-2026 - Oh my God!! Does anyone proofread these pages??? Case in point: However, the question mark over the 32-years-old head......???? No! No! No! However, the question mark over the 32-year-old's head...good grief man, hire a proofreader. This article is rife with errors making some sentences very difficult to read. I had to stop. I am a proofreader hence my disgust.Rapunzel10-09-2026
- Iga needs to make a decision whether she wants to continue the sport of tennis or pursue whatever she has going on in her personal life. One can tell that tennis is no longer an interest of hers. She should retire while she is on top, not when she slides to the bottom of the rankings. She has too much talent to look how she does on the court these days. She looks more like a wild card than a champion.crissy09-09-2026
- Looks like tennis has become a part of the American Oligarchy. As usual, Pegula is given a cupcake draw. With all her money, they have to fixed the draws in her favor in order to raised the trophy.crissy09-09-2026
- Huge win for Ben! He needed this. Amazing that Alcaraz took over four months off and still was able to make the QF’s and take Ben to a fifth set tie break! Insane tennis. Tiafoe vs. Shelton should be a good one too. Americans might finally get their US Open Champion after 23 years!DaveyWavey09-09-2026
- No one else would get away with this but these AMERCANS! It’s the US Open!! In America!! But sure, go off American ;)DaveyWavey08-09-2026
- WOW !!! Her comebacks have been intense. She's Baaaaack!
mandoist08-09-2026 - Don't lay this shitshow on "Americans". It is a long-running Ego trip with WTA allowing these two Elitists 'in need of a Camera' illicit Wildcards. If these two clowns want to "perform" -- then play the qualies.mandoist08-09-2026
- Here we go again…. Different rules for Americans! Especially THESE Americans. Yuck!DaveyWavey07-09-2026
