Andrey Rublev talks about battling depression
Meanwhile, Rublev also spoke about battling depression just after winning the Qatar Open 2025. The Russian defeated British star Jack Draper in the final showdown and talked about battling with mental issues.
The 27-year-old tennis player revealed that he was suffering mentally from depression for a long period. The Russian star revealed that he wasn't even able to perform well on the court while battling mental issues. Rublev stated that meditation has helped him overcome many things.
“Mentally I was out of order. I guess it was already a long moment of everything (building up) and I started to burn out, because I was struggling for many years with depression, with many things outside of the court. I guess this year it’s when I can’t handle it anymore, and it starts to just explode. It started to explode more and more on the court, because in life I was able to stay calm but inside the court I was burning everything,” Andrey Rublev said.
