Russian tennis star Andrey Rublev has enlisted the help of former World No. 1 Marat Safin, marking a significant shift in his coaching setup. The two were spotted together for the first time, signaling the start of an exciting partnership.
Rublev on Overcoming Mental Struggles

The former US Open champion helped him regain clarity:
“He made me understand myself. That was a bit of a restart from the bottom. Little by little, I was able to move in a better direction. I’m not happy, nor in a bad place, but I’ve found a base. That’s a beginning.”
