Rublev on Medvedev: "It's his life, only he knows what is happening"

The controversial situation involving Daniil Medvedev in his first-round match at the US Open 2025 has already made headlines worldwide. It is clear that the Russian tennis player completely lost his cool at a moment where regaining composure could have turned the match around.

However, that was not the case, and the defeat marked a low point for Medvedev. Contrary to all the criticism directed at Daniil, Andrey Rublev spoke candidly on the matter, trying to stand by his friend and offer support.

"I'm not the best example to say something because the way I behave many times is not a good example either," Andrey began in an interview with Tennis.com. "How can I judge someone when sometimes I behave the same way? And how can I judge someone who was the world number one and a Grand Slam champion?"

Intent on helping Medvedev

"It's his life. If he wants to change and needs help, he has me, he has many other friends. He has a family that will support him... This is his life, and these are the decisions he must make. Obviously, he is a very nice and super fun guy. The rest is up to him. Only he knows what is going on."

Regarding his attitude

"I'm trying to change, but not because I want to change my behavior, I just want to be happy and enjoy life. I don't do it because I want to behave well, or badly, or anything... I just want to feel good about myself and enjoy every day. That's why I try to change," Rublev confessed about his own attitude.
