Russian · Moscow, Russia · Born 20 October 1997Andrey Rublev is a Russian professional tennis player known for his powerful groundstrokes, with 19 ATP Tour titles and a Davis Cup title.
Andrey Rublev was born on 20 October 1997 in Moscow, Russia, to Marina Marenko, a tennis coach, and Andrey Rublev Sr., a boxer, growing up in a sporting household that shaped his competitive intensity from an early age. He turned professional and developed into one of the most emotionally expressive and hard-hitting players on the ATP Tour, renowned for a thunderous forehand and passionate, often self-critical on-court demeanour. Rublev won an Olympic gold medal in mixed doubles at the Tokyo 2020 Games, partnering Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova for the Russian Olympic Committee, and has reached the quarter-finals of multiple Grand Slam tournaments across his career, establishing himself as a consistent top-10 presence on the ATP Tour. Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Rublev publicly expressed opposition to the war, writing "no war please" on a camera lens after a match, and has spoken about the possibility of representing a different country given the diplomatic complications facing Russian athletes on tour. Rublev has continued to compete as one of the ATP Tour's most consistent performers, playing as a neutral athlete at tournaments that restrict Russian national representation, and remains one of the most powerful ball-strikers in men's tennis.
