Andrey Rublev talked about the way he felt to receive the Wimbledon’s crowd support across his Wimbledon run, although he is a Russian tennis player.“I felt really great support during all these two weeks. Today, as well.
To be from the country where I am, to have this support, it’s special. I don’t know, I feel sometimes I don’t deserve it or something like that. To have it, I don’t know… I don’t know what you need to do to have this support.
I’m really grateful for this,” said Rublev.Yet, Rublev does not feel guilty for coming from Russia. “No. I don’t know what to say. I made so many statements. I think my opinion is very clear, so it’s not guilty.
It’s more just the situation is terrible. Of course, you don’t wish this on anyone. You want these terrible things to be able to finish as fast as possible for all the people in the world just to have a chance to have a good life,” Andrey said.
Rublev is grateful for his Wimbledon run
Although he failed to beat Novak Djokovic in the quarters of Wimbledon, Andrey Rublev looked at the bright side.”Being here this year, I felt grateful,” Rublev said in a press conference.
“I’m happy that I was able to have a really, really good two weeks of my tennis. I’m happy that I was able, I think for the first time, to give my best in a quarter-final so far compared to all the other quarters that I have been in. This one I feel proud of myself for the first time”.
