President of the Russian Tennis Federation (RTF), Shamil Tarpischev, offered his thoughts on the collaboration between world No. 14, Andrey Rublev, and Marat Safin.
Tarpischev remarked that “Safin was Rublev`s idol, and they are in contact. Psychologically, their cooperation is beneficial – it represents a certain reboot. However, I don`t believe this partnership will continue for an extended period.”
