World No. 9 Andrey Rublev commented on the initial stages of his collaboration with coach Marat Safin.
– Which duo is cooler: Safin-Rublev or Djokovic-Murray?
– Just Safin.
– Okay, since it`s just Safin, what has he brought into your life, besides tennis stories? How has he influenced you? Has he already had an impact?
– Well, yes, a lot. I can`t say more details.
– So, is it something personal, between you two?
– No, not between us – it`s mine. I mean, some things are already… I feel that it`s already working.
– That`s great: such a short time has passed, and something is already noticeable.
– We`ll see. Yes, as you say, little time has passed – it`s hard to say anything definitively. Answering the last question: I`m not expecting anything. Whatever happens, happens. I will try to do my best. I hope we connect – or rather, that he might like being at tournaments again periodically. So far, everything is great, I`m trying to do everything. Some things have already become much clearer, so we`ll see,” Rublev shared in an interview for the BB Tennis YouTube channel.
