"Novak Djokovic, Daniil Medvedev, Rafael Nadal have balance, they go crazy but they still have the same level" - Andrey Rublev's coach

Andrey Rublev's coach Fernando Vicente believes Novak Djokovic, Daniil Medvedev and Rafael Nadal are capable of performing at their best even in the face of frustration.

Vicente has been working with Rublev since 2017. Prior to that, he was active on the ATP Tour between 1996 and 2011, where he won three singles titles. Vicente was ranked as high as World No. 29 on the singles circuit. He took up coaching in 2010, a few months before drawing the curtains on his professional career.

Rublev has won a total of 14 ATP titles, including one Masters 1000. He has also earned nine quarterfinal finishes in Grand Slams, but is yet to make it into the last four.

His coach recently held a conversation with Tennis Majors about Rublev struggling to put together deeper runs at the Majors. Vicente claimed that the Russian's inability to maintain a cool head has cost him on several occasions.

"We’re still working on that, it’s never over for any player. If you don’t have balance it doesn’t matter. At this level, every single detail, it happens to be a lot, when you lose focus. As soon as you drop the level you are out. So this has happened to him in some parts of the season," Vicente said.

The Spaniard further referenced Novak Djokovic, Daniil Medvedev and Rafael Nadal, stating that they don't let their emotions dictate their game.

"You can see Novak, Daniil, Rafa, they win or they lose, but they have this balance, you know, sometimes they go crazy, but they still have the same level. Andrey’s level, as soon as he starts to go crazy with these things, the level drops. So we are working to make him understand that that cannot happen if you want to achieve these things," he said.
