Andrey Rublev is publicly condemning his behavior during his third-round French Open loss.
During the third match at the French Open, the Russian tennis pro, 26, lost 7-6 (8-6) 6-2 6-4 against Italian pro Matteo Arnaldi, 23, and slammed his racket on the court. The match took place on Friday, May 31, at the Stade Roland Garros in Paris, France.
Rublev first threw his racket to the clay court at the end of the first set and was subsequently given a warning by the umpire. After the second set, he threw his racket on the court between Arnaldi’s serves. At the time, the crowd booed him and his behavior, all while he aggressively screamed at his team off-court.
