Fernando Vicente has become a reference in Spanish tennis, both for his stature as a player, achieving a career-high ranking of 29 on the ATP list and spending 10 years within the Top 100, and for his role as the coach of Andrey Rublev, currently ranked number 8 in the world, with whom he has been working since 2016. Despite the constant changes in the tennis circuit, the Valencian and the Russian have been together in this adventure for almost 10 years.

Fernando started playing tennis at the age of 8, a passion he shared with his two brothers. In his collection, he holds 3 ATP titles, in addition to impressive victories over big names like Andre Agassi, Marat Safin (who recently joined Rublev's team), Gustavo Kuerten, Tommy Haas, Alex Corretja, and defeating the Bryan brothers in doubles.

His experience as Andrey Rublev's coach

After retiring, Fernando decided to remain present in the world of tennis, but in a different role: as a coach. The Spanish coach has shared with Punto de Break on several occasions since 2016, when he started working with the Russian, how this adventure began. Andrey's evolution has been reflected in all aspects of his game, although his expectations and the pressure, which have been quite high since dedicating himself to tennis, have progressed in a different way.

His most significant titles have come on clay courts, in Monte Carlo and Madrid (Masters 1000), but Rublev aims for more. Perhaps that frustration that sometimes surfaces on the court is due to this, something the team also works on, trying to instill calmness to help him navigate the challenges he faces during matches. Ultimately, Fernando Vicente and Andrey Rublev form a unique tandem, very distinct from the coaching turmoil often seen in the circuit. The growth of both is undeniable, yet they continue giving their all to improve every day, striving to achieve their grand objectives. Fernando Vicente discusses this and more with Carlos Calderón in a new episode of Llamada a pista, available from April 21 on both YouTube and Spotify.
