Olympic champion Elena Vesnina commented on the start of Andrey Rublev`s collaboration with coach Marat Safin.
Vesnina believes that Marat`s authority is very important for Andrey, as Andrey respects, admires, and listens to him. This is crucial. As a second coach, Marat is unlikely to drastically change the training process. Instead, he will help Andrey cope with various situations during matches. Vesnina also thinks Safin will assist Andrey technically, improving his performance. In any case, having a coach like Marat Safin should definitely be beneficial. The results might not be immediate, but it will undoubtedly give Andrey Rublev a significant boost.
Elena Vesnina also commented on Rublev`s victory: Andrey is great. It would have been dangerous to go to three sets with an opponent like Monfils.
