Two volcanic personalities, united, seeking to find calm. The professional partnership that Andrey Rublev has embarked on with Marat Safin in the lead-up to the ATP Masters 1000 Monte Carlo 2025 is generating significant media attention, with many expectant fans curious about what may come of it. The Russian spoke about it.

It is always gratifying to see great figures from the past reconnect with tennis, especially in the case of such a genuine and unique character as Marat Safin. The former world number 1 distanced himself from this sport to pursue diverse activities, but has rediscovered the desire to return to the circuit, with none other than Andrey Rublev as his chosen partner. The Russian player has been going through challenging times, facing mental health issues and struggling to control his nerves on the court. Before commencing his participation in the ATP Masters 1000 Monte Carlo 2025, he talked about his new partnership.

- Rublev is certain that Safin won't allow them to waste time together

"Marat was my inspiration when I was a child. I know he has faced many challenges in his life, and I always wanted to ask him to learn from him. We have known each other since we were kids, and once I saw that he was ready to discuss important matters and return to tennis, I told myself I had to propose working together," explained Rublev, who adds Marat Safin to his team, maintaining the structure with Fernando Vicente as the head coach, who also has a good relationship with the Russian.

When asked how long this partnership can last and what he expects from it, Andrey Rublev was clear. "I am trying to listen to all his advice and be brave to try new things. I hope we work together for a long time, but it all depends on how he feels. I don't know if he will enjoy it or suffer working with me. I am certain that if he sees that I am wasting time or not listening, he won't waste time with me," stated the man who was a champion in Monte Carlo two years ago and who will strive for a great performance in this ATP Masters 1000 Monte Carlo 2025.
