Andrey "Rublo" Rublev revealed his impressive results against each of the Big Four in a conversation with
Christopher Eubanks,
Diego Schwartzman, and
Jan-Lennard Struff at the
Ultimate Tennis Showdown (UTS) in Frankfurt last month.
The World No. 6 defeated Grigor Dimitrov in the final to win the exhibition tournament and qualify for the final in London. Now, a video has been released of Rublev talking with three of his fellow competitors at the event about his record against some of the highest-ranked players on the ATP Tour, specifically the Big Four of
Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal,
Roger Federer, and Andy Murray.
Schwartzman asked Rublev if he had ever defeated 24-time Grand Slam champion Djokovic, to which he replied that he had done so once.

The Argentinian player then proceeded to ask him if he had defeated Federer and Nadal.
"Yeah Rafa once and Roger once," he confirmed.
He then asked the 26-year-old where he had beaten Djokovic, to which Rublev responded:
"Serbia, in Belgrade."
This was in the final of the 2022 Serbia Open, where Djokovic was defeated on home soil. Although Rublev still trails in their overall head-to-head 1-4, Eubanks jumped in to highlight the impressiveness of his win over Djokovic in that match.
"At the Novak tennis center, the final, 6-0 in the third set, bagled him," the American player said, after revealing that he had commentated on the clash.
They went on to talk about his win against Federer which saw him reach the Cincinnati Masters quarter-final in 2019.
"F***! Bravo Rublo! I think not many have that stat. I want to see that," Schwartzman said.
Eubanks then asked if Rublev had a win against all of the Big Four, to which the Russian replied that he also had a victory against Murray, which came at the 2021 Rotterdam Open.
