Andrey Rublev already gives truly funny remarks in some of his press conferences, and one of them was offered after securing a spot in the round of 16 at Roland Garros 2026. After defeating Borges and awaiting De Miñaur or Mensik, the Russian was asked about his iconic mane, and his response led to laughter.

"There is no secret. I think I just got lucky. I wake up in the morning and my hair is like this. Obviously, I take care of it, but I don't do anything special."

"The funny thing is that when I was outside the top 10, everyone was saying: 'Why doesn't he cut his hair? He looks like a monkey. Doesn't he have money to go to a hair salon?'. And suddenly, you reach the top 10, and the same people say: 'What hair he has, what style, he looks like a rock star.' I have had the exact same hair my whole life. The only thing that changed was the results."
