Andrei Rublev Suffers Psychological Breakdown at Paris-Bercy

Andrei Rublev experienced a major psychological breakdown on ⁣Court 1 at the Accor ​Arena in Paris during his second-round ​match against Francisco Cerundro at the Rolex Paris Masters.

Rublev dominated both sets, leading 5-2⁤ in the first and 4-2 in the ‍second. However, ⁣he ⁤lost his ​tennis rhythm in both sets, ultimately losing the match in a closely contested ‌2.5-hour battle (7-6, 7-6).

The⁣ pressure got the better of ‍him, causing intense frustration. In an attempt to release his emotions, Rublev tried to hit his knee with his racket, a⁣ move that has become all too familiar for the tennis star (see video below).

This outburst⁢ was reminiscent of a similar incident in the past, where‍ Rublev also hurt his knee. Additionally, he⁢ was seen ‍throwing a bottle and yelling “Shut up!” after missing a service return (see video below).
