"Me at least, I knew who he is, but Daniil had no idea": Rublev recalls meeting One Direction's Louis Tomlinson in Mexico

Andrey Rublev and Daniil Medvedev met Louis Tomlinson in Mexico.

Rublev talked about the photo that he and Medvedev took with the One Direction star Louis Tomlinson in Mexico. They took a photo in front of the hotel that the world No. 7 recently commented on.

“That was funny because when we were arriving, we saw so many people in front of the hotel. Daniil was like, ‘Why [are there] so many people here?’ Outside of the hotel were a thousand people, kids, girls. As soon as he came out you cannot imagine what was happening. I saw it only in YouTube videos. I’ve never seen something like this in my life.”

The situation happened because Rublev recognized the musician and hurried to take a photo while trying to explain to Medvedev what was happening.

“It was a bit embarrassing, but it was still okay. In Daniil’s situation it was embarassing-embarassing because first of all the guy had no idea who we are and Daniil had no idea who he is. Me at least, I knew who he is, but Daniil had no idea. He was with 10 security [guards] around, he was in the middle and they were like, ‘Okay, fast, or something’. Even if they told him that we are athletes, that we are not that bad, not just random people.”

The 25-year-old tennis player has never hidden his love for music and has even previously revealed that he would have liked to pursue it if he weren't a tennis player. The Russian covered one of the One Direction songs a few years ago and said that he learned the process of creating a song there:

Actually, I had fun. I like music a lot and I never had at that moment [the] experience [of] how you do [a music video] from the beginning because all the instruments that were there, it’s not from the cover. The guys were playing with real instruments. Everything — piano, guitar, drums — were separated and then they put them all together. So for me it was a really nice experience to see how this process goes.”
