Inconsistency and irregularity have become the worst enemies of Andrey Rublev who is still struggling to get out of the slump that started a few months ago. In line with this, the Russian fell in the third round of the Mutua Madrid Open 2025 against Alexander Bublik. Despite winning the second set 6-0, Andrey was unable to raise his level at the crucial moment to stay alive in a tournament important to him where he was defending 1000 points.

The main consequence comes in his ranking. Rublev will drop out of the Top 15 for the first time in 5 years, a fact that deepens the player's wound. Just a few minutes after leaving the court, the Russian player addresses the media at the Caja Mágica to try to explain his current situation.

"I don't even know what to say. I just try to be optimistic, focus on the things I need to improve, that's all. The same thing happened with Doha, I didn't start the season well, I focused on the process and was able to win in Doha. Now the situation is similar. I'm not getting good results, but I try to focus on the process and I hope that eventually it will work out," Andrey said in the mixed zone.

What is missing to end the streak?

"It's not about the results, the ranking, or any of that, it's about the things I need to focus on, discipline, training, attitude, and aspects like these. There's nothing specific that I like or dislike. When everything is in place, I will have good tennis. There will be a week when everything clicks. Now I will talk with the team to organize ourselves, we will start preparing for Rome."

The challenge of facing someone like Alexander Bublik

"It's not easy, but it's part of the sport. There are many players like that, it's their tennis, their way of winning matches. You have to be prepared for it. Before he served for the match, I didn't think about many things. I knew that if he started the game well, there was nothing to do, it was going to be all aces. I knew that if he didn't start very well, maybe I would have a chance, but it wasn't the case, it was almost four aces."
